What do reviewers say about Dance of Death and Midnight Poison?
Iris fans consider this remarkable. Others find it austere to a fault. But that's precisely the point, this is restraint as an argument. Elegant melancholy, not gothic shock.Dance of Death
The rose doesn't ask permission. Neither does the patchouli. Together they build a presence that arrives before you've entered the room, yet somehow the vanilla keeps it from ever being too much.Midnight Poison
