What do reviewers say about Eau Noire and Suffolk Lavender?
This is the fragrance that makes people lean in. Lavender isn't usually a conversation starter, but here it arrives with coffee and licorice, armchair philosophy, not small talk.Eau Noire
This is lavender for people who've given up on lavender. The incense doesn't play nice. The melon adds something sweet and strange. That's exactly the point.Suffolk Lavender
