What do reviewers say about Smile and De Young Red?
Smile earns its name. That raspberry and musk finish is the kind of thing you catch on your wrist and immediately want to smell again. Anaïs and Olivier Cresp know how to make simple notes feel like.Smile
Raspberry keeps the rose honest. The pepper doesn't back down but it never attacks either, it's the hello that opens the door. Woods and musk underneath mean this isn't just fruit salad.De Young Red
