What do reviewers say about Flux and Guidance?
The blueberry note is the surprise here, it is not sweet or playful, it sits cold and slightly tart beneath mint and cardamom. The drydown is where this earns its keep, the sequoia and cashmeran.Flux
Guidance is a statement fragrance, not a quiet one. It never truly shouts, instead drawing you in with its intimate, opulent warmth and lingering allure.Guidance
