What do reviewers say about Noir and Obsidian?
There's no apology for the 8-10 hour sillage. The raspberry opens sweet, then gets outpaced by leather, oud, and tobacco that hold the stage long after you've left.Noir
Obsidian keeps surprising me. The iris and citrus opening feels delicate, then leather dominates and refuses to apologize. By the drydown it settles into something refined and contemplative.Obsidian
