What do reviewers say about Eaux de Caron Pure and Quartz?
This is what 1996 smelled like on the right person. Fresh-cut citrus over dry cedar, with just enough tropical flair to keep it interesting. The longevity is honest, four to six hours, no tricks.Eaux de Caron Pure
Quartz presents its character directly. There's something mineral and clear about it that sets it apart from many fragrances. The citrus opening is quick and bright.Quartz
