Les Parfums de Rosine Rose Nue ~ fragrance review
Les Parfums de Rosine is a perfume line that generally “works” for me. It’s like an olfactory version of a favorite musical artist: I may not love everything they release, but I find most of their creations likable and wearable, so I give every new one a try.

The Acqua di Parma website features an entire page focusing on Rosa Nobile’s story.
