What do reviewers say about Malachite Special Edition and Premier Jour?
This is for the person who wants fresh without the usual aquatic aggression. The water hyacinth stays green, not ozonic. Peony and sandalwood do the real work here.Malachite Special Edition
This fragrance is genuinely gentle. The sweet pea gives it a green freshness that keeps the florals from feeling too heavy, and the vanilla in the drydown keeps it cozy without being gourmand.Premier Jour
