What do reviewers say about Tabu and Zinnia?
This cologne concentration means Tabu wears closer to the skin than its later EDT counterparts, but it never apologizes for its intentions. The civet and clove remain defiantly present.Tabu
This is powder done right. Not the headache kind. The restrained kind that makes people lean closer instead of stepping back. The lily of the valley at its center is the real draw, delicate and fresh.Zinnia
