What do reviewers say about Bois Blonds and Citrus Noir?
Bois Blonds won't fill a room. That's the point. The wearer who chooses this has nothing to prove. Vetiver's earthy dryness is the quiet authority in the drydown.Bois Blonds
Citrus fragrances rarely pull off the twist. This one opens like a Tuesday morning and ends like a late-night glass of something amber and expensive. The frankincense doesn't dominate, it stays quiet.Citrus Noir
