What do reviewers say about The Secret Flame and The Most Wanted?

It's sweet. Fruity-warm sweet, with spices that keep it from getting syrupy. The citrus opening is genuine, almost clean, before the gourmand notes take over.The Secret Flame

If you've been burned by vanilla fragrances that go full dessert counter, this is the one that reminds you why the note endures. The cardamom keeps it sharp. The vetiver keeps it grounded.The Most Wanted
