What do reviewers say about Paris and Rose Essentielle?
There's something about Paris that divides people in the best way. Some find it too much. Others find it exactly enough. The rose-violet combination is old-school in the most complimentary sense.Paris
Some roses want to be noticed. This one simply is. Powdery-violet elegance that earns its place on any vanity without trying to outshine the room. Not a statement fragrance.Rose Essentielle
