What do reviewers say about Aromatics Elixir and Contre-Jour?
Aromatics Elixir isn't subtle, and it doesn't want to be. This is for the woman who's already walked into the room and decided to stay. The kind of confidence that skips the introduction.Aromatics Elixir
This one doesn't try to charm you on first spray. That curry-bright immortelle hits hard and it knows exactly what it's doing. By the time the rose and sandalwood settle in.Contre-Jour
