What do reviewers say about Max Richter 01 and Malagasy?
Some will find the opening too clinical. That's the point. Max Richter 01 is for people who want a fragrance that thinks before it speaks, woody, resinous, but mineral at its core.Max Richter 01
Built for the person who wants spice without armor. The clove and caraway create warmth you can almost feel, a tactile quality that makes this feel more like an experience than a fragrance.Malagasy
