Rose Highland vs Squid

Rose Highland by Jorum Studio is recognized as a complex, underrated rose fragrance with a strong personality that rewards patience on first application. The community appreciates its dark, sexy character and depth, particularly for winter wear, though its intensity and strong projection may require careful testing before committing to a full bottle.

Squid is a polarizing niche fragrance that successfully delivers on its oceanic, briny concept, but doesn't work well on all skin types—some find it transforms into unpleasant suntan lotion. Community consensus is mixed, with strong musk presence being a point of contention for those seeking alternatives without it.
