    What do reviewers say about Love Toxin and The Lover's Tale?

    Some will call it too much. That's the point. The leather, the castoreum, this isn't a fragrance that asks permission. It's for the wearer who knows exactly what she's doing and doesn't.Love Toxin
    This is a fragrance that asks you to commit. The opening honey feels gorgeous, but the castoreum-leather drydown is not for the faint of heart. If you want a gentle floral, look elsewhere.The Lover's Tale
