What do reviewers say about Material and Suma Oriental?
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
Suma Oriental is not a safe blind buy. The rum and cocoa opening is bold, and the patchouli heart makes no apologies. If you enjoy earthy, woody compositions with a touch of sweetness, this rewards.Suma Oriental
