What do reviewers say about Darling and Trouble In Paradise?
The cherry-cognac opening is what gets you. Sweet, almost boozy, impossible to miss. Then it settles into sandalwood and stays there, intimate and warm, for hours.Darling
Some fragrances do tropical safe. Mango and coconut and something clean. This isn't one of them. The mango here is ripe, almost fermented, worn skin after a swim.Trouble In Paradise
