What do reviewers say about French Style and Star?
Classic French feminine without the identity crisis. Not trying to reinvent anything. Just doing what powdery-vanilla has always done well: making you smell like someone worth knowing.French Style
This is vanilla done differently. Not the food-safe bakery kind, but something resinous and Eastern. Patchouli keeps it grounded while amber makes it glow.Star
