    What do reviewers say about Close To You and Shalimar?

    The tuberose is the point. Everything else, coffee, chocolate, warm spice, exists to make that flower unforgettable. Sweet enough to pull someone in. Warm enough to keep them there.Close To You
    Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
