What do reviewers say about Upside Down and Carlisle?
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
Bold sweetness with a spicy kickback, tonka and vanilla carry the weight but saffron and davana keep it from tipping into dessert territory. It's warm without being heavy.Carlisle
