What do reviewers say about Le Lion Eau de Parfum and Faux Semblant?
Le Lion earns its name not through aggression but through restraint. The opening citrus is clean, the amber heart is warm without being heavy, and the patchouli-vanilla drydown stays refined.Le Lion Eau de Parfum
The honey-orange blossom heart is lush, almost confectionery, but then the oud-sandalwood base arrives and remembers it has somewhere to be. It's that Givenchy move: pretty on the surface.Faux Semblant
