What do reviewers say about Upside Down and Paisley Sky?
Gourmand fragrances usually play it safe. Upside Down doesn't. The rum and vanilla are bold, almost confrontational, but the tobacco and cinnamon keep it from becoming a sugar bomb.Upside Down
The ylang-ylang in this one is a trip. It bends sweet and tropical in the heart, then the myrrh brings stank, and somehow it works. Bold, long-wearing, and unapologetically indie.Paisley Sky
