I like it a lot, but not as much as Nahema. Still my favorite rose. Very different vibe though, not really a fair comparison. I will revisit this when the weather gets cold. Still blown away by

I can smell the cool dew on the roses, even though it's insanely humid and hot, it gives me the feeling of a cool rose garden on a spring morning.

Last weekend’s vibe was “sweet granddaughter-in-law”, today it’s “least favourite niece with too many tattoos”
