What do reviewers say about Her Secret Temptation and Violet Noir?
Here's the thing about Her Secret Temptation: it smells like it costs three times the price. The patchouli in the base gives it that earthy, slightly dirty warmth that keeps it from going full.Her Secret Temptation
This is the fragrance that starts fruity-sweet and ends somewhere darker. The patchouli in the base gives it an edge that the opening doesn't promise, and that's the whole point.Violet Noir
