What do reviewers say about Decembrie 89 - Freedom elixir and Herod?
This is vanilla done the hard way. Vanilla bean, vanilla absolute, Madagascar vanilla, and rum, most fragrances would drown in that. Decembrie 89 doesn't.Decembrie 89 - Freedom elixir
Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
