What do reviewers say about The King and Plum Japonais?
Bold without apology. This is the fragrance that announces itself before you've finished your first sentence, and somehow that's exactly why people remember you.The King
Dense, dark, and unapologetically bold. Plum Japonais doesn't whisper or fade, it announces and then lingers on your collar, your scarf, the air behind you.Plum Japonais
