    What do reviewers say about Black Tie and Velours?

    Black Tie is a fragrance that knows what it wants. No accoutrements, no opening fanfare. Just a precise, VANILLA-DRIS IRIS core wrapped in cedar and earth. Understated in the best way possible.Black Tie
    The suede-and-powder combination is what people come back for. Moderate sillage, exceptional longevity, 10 hours outlasts most days. That's the trade: not a room- filler, a skin-walker.Velours
