    What do reviewers say about CH and Lua?

    CH is for those who want presence over projection. It arrives quietly, lingers past midnight, and trades room-filling announcements for the intimacy of being discovered at arm's length.CH
    The melon note here isn't sweet in the usual way, it's watery, almost cold, which makes the powdery iris and warm vanilla base feel like a deliberate contrast. Some call it timeless.Lua
