Eau Rose is widely praised by the r/fragrance community as an exceptional rose fragrance that converts rose skeptics and floral haters. Its fresh, dewy, and unpretentious character with minimal notes is its greatest strength. However, community consensus acknowledges its significant weakness: poor longevity and sillage, particularly in the EDT version, which limits its practical appeal despite its beautiful scent profile.

Bal d'Afrique is widely praised for its beautiful, unique scent profile with fresh citrus and creamy sweetness, making it an excellent signature fragrance for warm weather. However, the community consensus is tempered by significant concerns about poor longevity and weak projection, which many feel don't justify its premium price, recommending samples before purchase.
