    What do reviewers say about Gris Dior and Up At Dawn?

    Gris Dior does not announce itself. It does not need to. The absence of an opening and the dominance of oakmoss make this a fragrance for someone who already knows what they want.Gris Dior
    There's a version of you that doesn't trust rose. Too sweet, too obvious, too much. Fair. But this isn't that. This is a rose of the earth, not the florist.Up At Dawn
