What do reviewers say about Sequence and Paramour?
It's the arc that makes it worth wearing. The lychee-raspberry opening hits like something borrowed from a summer you can't quite place, then oud and leather take over and don't apologize for it.Sequence
The leather-raspberry contrast is real but not as jarring as it sounds. The fruit fades quickly, leaving a spicy-floral heart that eventually gives way to a warm, ambery leather base.Paramour
