What do reviewers say about Belly of the Whale and Queen?
Ambergris does something different here. Not the animalic some fear. Cleaner, almost delicate. It threads through like a bass note you feel more than hear.Belly of the Whale
It's not trying to reinvent anything. Just does what it does with complete conviction, warm, floral, feminine in the way that doesn't ask permission. The sandalwood and patchouli aren't a gimmick.Queen
