What do reviewers say about Virēre and Cacti?
Virere does not announce itself. The galbanum hits quickly but dissipates, and then the green tea and mate quietly take over for hours. If you want something loud, this is not it.Virēre
This one divides on the powdery drydown, heliotrope turns it soft, almost vintage. But that's the point. Cacti isn't trying to fill a room. It is a personal, meditative green.Cacti
