What do reviewers say about Poison and Garofano?
Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
Carnations in fragrance polarize. Garofano does not apologize for its central note. If you find yourself drawn to spiced florals and garden herbs, this 1995 study of carnation still holds its own.Garofano
