What do reviewers say about Makkah and White Star?
Sweet, fruity, gourmand. Not for those who want their oriental to smell like leather and smoke. But if you're after a strawberry-vanilla embrace that lasts, this is the one.Makkah
Not your average vanilla. The powdery heliotrope keeps it honest, warm, close, never cloying. Gourmand that grew up. A scent that actually suits you, one that becomes part of your skin rather than.White Star
