    What do reviewers say about Brilliant Wish and Varens Original Indian Secret?

    This is for the woman who doesn't need to fill the room. The sillage is moderate, close, intimate, a secret between two people. If you want to be smelled from across the street.Brilliant Wish
    The name flirts with mystique but the scent is genuinely warm, floral sweetness softened by caramel, grounded by sandalwood. It doesn't shout, and that's the point.Varens Original Indian Secret
