What do reviewers say about Always and Black Cashmeran & Tonka?
This one won a FiFi Award in 2005 and it's not hard to see why. It's the friend everyone trusts, warm, approachable, never trying too hard. That cotton-musk base is the secret.Always
Starts like a confident Middle Eastern fragrance. Then the ginger-rum mid arrives and you realize it's not playing the same game. Sweet enough to linger, dry enough to mean it. That's the move.Black Cashmeran & Tonka
