What do reviewers say about Silk and Ostara?
Not a soft fragrance at all, despite the name. White florals meet earthy materials, then something warmer develops over time. The contrast between cool and warm elements is what makes it worth.Silk
The beeswax is the tell. In a landscape of safe florals, Ostara goes somewhere different, warm, almost vintage, golden in a way that makes people stop and ask what they're wearing.Ostara
