What do reviewers say about Her Highness Red and Amber Star?
Sweet enough to turn heads. Warm enough to stay. The creamy drydown is what people come back for, it's the exhale after the conversation, not the opening line.Her Highness Red
Amber Star is not a safe blind buy. The smoky guaiac wood and resinous myrrh in the heart are divisive, and the drydown, while gorgeous, requires patience.Amber Star
