What do reviewers say about Rhubarb & Custard and Pastel Rumours?
Gourmand with a conscience. Not a heavy dessert bomb, the rhubarb keeps it bright, the citrus keeps it honest. The kind of scent that wears well on a Tuesday and still feels right on a Sunday morning.Rhubarb & Custard
Some people want to smell like dessert. Unapologetically. If that's you, Pastel Rumours won't disappoint, it's warm milk and vanilla with enough ginger to keep it from getting saccharine.Pastel Rumours
