    What do reviewers say about M/Mink and Maai?

    There's a version of avant-garde that performs. M/Mink doesn't. The aldehydic punch reads as cold or clinical to some, that's the point. If you want something that meets you halfway, this won't.M/Mink
    Maai doesn't court an audience, it simply projects hard enough that the audience comes to it. The aldehydic brightness pulls you in, but the civet, resins, and musk are what make you stay.Maai
