What do reviewers say about Material and Fort Royal?
This is the fragrance for people who want to smell expensive without announcing it. The opening is confrontational in the best way, dense elemi, patchouli that lingers like wet earth, a green-earth.Material
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one just arrives and stays. The sweetness leans into comfort territory, but the benzoin and labdanum keep it from drifting into dessert.Fort Royal
