What do reviewers say about Pura Lux and English Major?
Creamy woods and jasmine on air, that's what you get from Pura Lux. The black pepper opening is bright and confident, fading into the clearest, creamiest woods with jasmine floating on air.Pura Lux
English Major is specific. It does not smell like a candle labeled 'old books' or a generic warm vanilla. The Coconut adds an unexpected, soft tropicality.English Major
