ROSE WEEK 2019 – A Leathery Rose

It’s Rose Week on EauMG! This is the annual celebration of rose-centric perfumes! This week I’m reviewing 5 fragrances that display a different aspect of rose perfumes.

Every Rose Week, I try to focus on one or two rose-centric perfumes that I think people that usually don’t love roses will stand. I am basically trying to get ya’ll to join my decadent and enlightening Cult of Rose. If you don’t think you like rose, let me introduce you to Thameen Nassak.

As someone that wears makeup every single day, I find myself also wanting to smell like makeup…and this makes very little sense because don’t I already smell like… Continue reading
