What do reviewers say about Scent of a Dream and Crystal Noir?
Some people can't get past the synthetic molecules. Hedione, ambroxan, ISO-E-Super. That's the point. Those are the notes that make it modern, that make it last.Scent of a Dream
Crystal Noir is not subtle and it knows it. The pepper and ginger opening is unapologetically assertive, but the coconut gardenia heart is where it wins people over.Crystal Noir
