What do reviewers say about Flux and Steamed Rainbow?
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
Steamed Rainbow is the rare fragrance that commits fully to its concept. The progression feels intentional rather than a jumbled collection of disparate notes.Steamed Rainbow
