What do reviewers say about Beso Negro and Bois Obscur?
Not a beach scent. Not a summer scent. Beso Negro is for the hour when everyone else has left and you're still there, leaning against something. The violet-leather pairing is the whole point.Beso Negro
Bois Obscur isn't interested in making friends. It's the fragrance that sits across the table and doesn't look away. If you've wanted to love Byredo but found them too restrained.Bois Obscur
