What do reviewers say about Hypnotic Poison and Ruby Red?
Hypnotic Poison doesn't play it safe. The coconut and almond give it real weight, real warmth. It's sweet, yes, but with a density that borders on something you could almost eat.Hypnotic Poison
This is spicy. Not politely spiced, there's real candied ginger heat here that doesn't let up. But it's anchored by floral sweetness and wrapped in vanilla, and it lasts well into the evening.Ruby Red
