What do reviewers say about Black Sugar and Habanita?
Aquolina pivoting from candy aisle to something with real teeth. The vanilla is here, surrounded by smoke and oud, carrying depth that feels earned rather than added.Black Sugar
The opening is odd. Mastic and petitgrain don't usually share space, yet here they do. It reads medicinal, resinous, almost astringent before the vanilla arrives.Habanita
