What do reviewers say about Gecko and Super Nova?
This is a bold, unapologetic scent that commands presence. The immortelle and saffron combination is striking without being loud, and the leather drydown is addictively smooth.Gecko
This is not a crowd-pleaser. Super Nova opens green, mineral, and strange, with bell pepper that catches some off guard. The drydown rewards patience.Super Nova
