What do reviewers say about Calycanthus and Gold?
Italian restraint in a bottle. Sweet enough to be feminine, restrained enough to never announce itself. For someone who doesn't need the room to know they've arrived.Calycanthus
Gold is unapologetically bold and animalic. The Civet and Ambergris in the base will polarize, and the Jasmine-Myrrh heart commands attention. It truly fills a room.Gold
