What do reviewers say about Carolina and Hypnotic Poison?
The strawberry leaf and bitter orange opening is a time capsule, green, a little bitter, not sweet at all. That cashmere wood drydown is what keeps people coming back, years later.Carolina
Hypnotic Poison doesn't play it safe. The coconut and almond give it real weight, real warmth. It's sweet, yes, but with a density that borders on something you could almost eat.Hypnotic Poison
