    What do reviewers say about Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir and Shiyaaka Shadow?

    The black truffle opening is either going to pull you in or catch you completely off guard, earthy, almost dirty-smelling, definitely not safe. That's the whole point. Vanilla sweetens the deal.Bad Boy Cobalt Elixir
    The sillage is moderate, close enough to feel, far enough to let you forget it's there. That is the whole point. Shiyaaka Shadow is built for the person who wants presence without a soundtrack.Shiyaaka Shadow
