What do reviewers say about Amber Intense and Sand and Skin?
Warm enough to wear to dinner. Tart enough to wear to argue. The saffron keeps the vanilla honest, this isn't your typical amber. Sweet, yes. But it has a point of view.Amber Intense
This one is for people who want something that smells like it belongs on a beach at golden hour. The floral notes keep it feminine without tipping into girly, and the drydown is legitimately.Sand and Skin
