What do reviewers say about Aleksandr and Salt & Cyclamen?
Arquiste nailed the atmosphere of a frozen duel here. Neroli and aldehydes create that initial cold sparkle, but the leather and cognac heart keeps things interesting.Aleksandr
This isn't a fragrance that announces itself. It's for someone who wants salt and cyclamen to layer under other scents or stand alone, intimate, certain, lasting 6-8 hours close to the skin.Salt & Cyclamen
