    What do reviewers say about Presage and Cinnabar?

    Discontinued fragrances carry a particular kind of weight. Presage is one of those. It smells like a specific moment in time, the late 80s turning, the idea of an English garden that wasn't manicured.Presage
    This is the fragrance that makes itself known before you've even reached for the bottle. The clove and cinnamon don't ask for attention, and neither will you.Cinnabar
