What do reviewers say about Esprit d'Amouage and Xi'an?
Esprit d'Amouage keeps its voice low and lingers anyway. Bay leaf and cardamom give it an herbal edge that keeps the sweetness honest, warm, but never cloying.Esprit d'Amouage
This won't announce itself across a room. That's the point. Xi'an is for someone who has learned that the best things don't need to shout, they just stay.Xi'an
