What do reviewers say about Masumi and Japanese Rituals?
Masumi doesn't announce itself. It breathes beside you. Built for the hour when the room goes quiet and you want to be remembered without trying. The Far East inspiration shows in its restraint.Masumi
The peony-and-rose heart does exactly what spa florals are supposed to do: calm, compose, make you smell like you showered recently. Some people catch a soapy edge at the opening.Japanese Rituals
