What do reviewers say about Close To You and Alien?
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
Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
