What do reviewers say about Couture 8 and Red Door?
The green notes here don't whisper. Hyacinth takes up space, makes itself known, and some will find that confrontational. But that's exactly the point. White flowers keep it from being cold.Couture 8
The kind of fragrance that stops a conversation, on purpose. Bold enough to start one, distinctive enough that not everyone will love it. If you want to be remembered, this works.Red Door
