    What do reviewers say about Bazar and First?

    The pepper isn't for everyone. It's the hinge, either pulls you in or makes you wait. Once it settles, the floral heart delivers: a soft, warm trail that earns compliments without trying.Bazar
    An aldehydic chypre that smells like powdery florals wrapped in honey and animalic warmth. This is 1970s elegance distilled into a bottle. It is refined, perhaps austere, and demands attention.First
