What do reviewers say about Love Hibiscus and Black Orchid?
The opening is borderline dessert-like, and anyone expecting subtle refinement will find themselves in the wrong conversation. But that hibiscus heart with frankincense quietly saves everything.Love Hibiscus
Black Orchid isn't a fragrance, it's a confrontation. The truffle opening is strange, almost jarring. Then the florals arrive, heavy and rich. The kind of scent people have strong opinions about.Black Orchid
