    What do reviewers say about Balenciaga L'Essence and Simply Jil Sander Touch of Violet?

    No sillage cloud, no 'notice me' moment. Just vetiver grounded by leather and moss, that forest-floor stillness. If you need to announce your arrival, look elsewhere.Balenciaga L'Essence
    Jil Sander rarely lets a note run this freely. The violet doesn't whisper, it carries the composition, cool and crystalline, until the leather sneaks in quiet and warm. A rare floral with backbone.Simply Jil Sander Touch of Violet
