What do reviewers say about Place Vendôme and Illicit?
The honey is what gets people. Not the loud, sticky kind, the kind that feels warm and golden and somehow already yours. This isn't a fragrance that announces itself.Place Vendôme
This is the fragrance for someone who doesn't wait to be noticed. The ginger opens bold and electric, but the honey-amber base is what lingers. It stays close to the skin, warm and memorable.Illicit
