What do reviewers say about Oriental Enigma and La Capitale?
Most orientals make an entrance. This one just arrives and settles. The opening sweetness hooks you, but by the third hour it's something else entirely, spiced, warm, almost austere.Oriental Enigma
La Capitale does not whisper. Strawberry and caramel open sweet, leather and saffron take over, then benzoin, bourbon vanilla, and oud. It's for someone who wants to be noticed.La Capitale
