What do reviewers say about Material and Kashimire?
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
Cashmere as a fragrance concept walks a fine line between soft and boring. Kashimire sidesteps it entirely, the powder is warm, the amber never lets go.Kashimire
