What do reviewers say about Dark and Lightscape?
The metallic-rose accord either intrigues you or makes you reach for something safer. It's the scent of someone who picks based on curiosity, not comfort, modern, a little abstract.Dark
Fresh, clean, but never clinical. The galbanum's green snap meets violet's powdery softness in a composition that stays close to the skin. Understated in the best way.Lightscape
