This item was bought as a gift, although I have bought the single flower ones myself before. This review is through the recipient. She was delighted and loved the ‘oh so real’ flowers. She could not get over the perfume smell that you spray on the roses – so very real and just like the ones her parents used to have in their garden as a child. They take pride of place on her coffee table and she had many jealous friends who now want the same. As such, I can highly recommend this as both a treat for yourself or an excellent gift choice.
