What do reviewers say about Majan and Back to Black?
This is rose that grew up. Not the powder-puff kind you'll find in every department store rose. Bulgarian rose, yes, but treated like a material with weight and intention. Vanilla holds the door open.Majan
Back to Black is unapologetically rich, hovering in that dangerously intoxicating space between dessert and obssession. The honey-tobacco axis is seamless, the spice subtle enough not to overwhelm,.Back to Black
