    What do reviewers say about M/Mink and Major Tom?

    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
    This one doesn't perform. It exists. The aquatic opening hits like static, then gives way to galbanum and vetiver doing something genuinely strange, earthy, almost rotten green.Major Tom
