    What do reviewers say about Sankai and 1881?

    Not trying to fill a room. That's not what this fragrance is for. Sankai is the kind of scent you wear for yourself, a spring garden that stays close, bright enough to lift your mood.Sankai
    This is 90s powdery done right. Not safe, not boring. The 'fleur de lin' note, Nino Cerruti's signature flower, makes it specific rather than generic.1881
