What do reviewers say about Viva la Vita and L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT?
This is the fragrance people think they know before they smell it. 'Avon' reads as simple. Then the mimosa opens, and suddenly there's warmth where sweetness should be. That rose doesn't shout.Viva la Vita
Star anise is not a shy note. It opens this fragrance like a statement, and if black pepper follows, you know this is not playing it safe. Overall effect is warm and atmospheric.L'Instant de Guerlain pour Homme EDT
