What do reviewers say about Warm Bulb and Dust?
Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
Some fragrances want to be heard. Dust wants to be felt beside you. This is the scent of proximity, not the room, but the person in it. It lasts a full workday and fades into skin, not air.Dust
