What do reviewers say about Chapter 4 and Alchermes?
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
The davana-saffron opener either grips you or confuses you. But in 30 minutes, it becomes leather, and the gamble pays off. Rich, warm, close, not for those who want to smell invisible.Alchermes
