What do reviewers say about Today and Carnal Flower?
This is the fragrance equivalent of a spontaneous morning that turns memorable. The cactus and black pepper opening feels honest, and the tropical white florals that follow are unabashedly feminine.Today
This is not a safe blind buy. The tuberose here is bold, almost aggressive on some skin. But if you want a tuberose that smells like the actual flower in full sun, this earns its reputation.Carnal Flower
