What do reviewers say about Dark Saphir and Nin-Shar?
This is a fragrance that asks something of you. The opening is a riot of spice and fruit, raspberry, pepper, ginger, and it doesn't apologize. Then the rose and oud arrive, and the whole thing shifts.Dark Saphir
Rose and oud is a crowded corner. This one earns its place, the artemisia keeps it honest, the vanilla keeps it warm, and the incense keeps it from ever becoming pretty. That's the draw.Nin-Shar
