I used to never be a fan of rose scented products or fragrances. They say our tastes change every 7 years, so I guess that explains why I'm now obsessed with rose scented everything. I went into the...

a kurdjian rose patchouli, not gourmand, referencing the powerhouse 1991 l'arte di gucci EdP, not EdT. RB is expensive, lighter weight, and I intensely dislike the packaging and price, so I would defi...

This chypre-based rose scent inspired by the legendary Mitsouko is an astonishingly beautiful artwork. When I took the first sniff of this magnificent perfume, it immediately conjured up an image of s...
