What do reviewers say about Chapter 4 and Lustre?
Cherry in perfumery is a gamble. Too synthetic, too medicinal, too fruity-fresh. Chapter 4 takes the gamble and earns it. The cherry stays candied-close but the leather won't let it float off.Chapter 4
Lustre is a sophisticated, resin-forward fragrance that rewards patience. The cardamom-iris opening is brief but memorable, and the drydown is where this scent truly lives.Lustre
