What do reviewers say about York Forever and Oajan?
Honey and patchouli get dismissed as basic by people who've never smelled this. The Indonesian oil makes it richer, earthier, less forgiving than the mass-market versions.York Forever
Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
