What do reviewers say about Proserphina and Contre Culture?
Old-school chypre lovers, this one goes deep. Bold pomegranate and rose over mossy patchouli creates a fragrance that announces itself. The 8-10 hour longevity means one spray is plenty.Proserphina
Yaroslav Simonov has crafted something that refuses to behave. Contre Culture is confrontational, industrial, and deliberately uncomfortable. If you are looking for polite, look elsewhere.Contre Culture
