Ode to Rose Bella vs Royale: side by side

Which Zimaya rose perfume should you choose?

• Choose Bella if you love sweet, cozy perfumes and want a rose with a dessert-like vanilla and cherry side for evenings and cooler months.
• Choose Royale if you prefer light, fruity florals you can wear to work or on a sunny weekend.
• Get both if you want one rose perfume for day and one for night. Their gift boxes also make them easy presents.

How to wear a rose perfume

Spray on pulse points such as the neck, wrists and behind the ears, and avoid rubbing it in so the notes can unfold naturally. For a softer effect with Royale, mist it onto your hair or clothing from a short distance. Keep both bottles in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
