What do reviewers say about Pure Poison and L'Air?
White florals at their most deliberate. This is the fragrance that doesn't ask permission, it just takes up space, cool and creamy and unafraid. Pure Poison isn't trying to convert you.Pure Poison
Many light florals feel like they disappear before you've had a chance to know them. L'Air takes a different approach. Brazilian rosewood and patchouli anchor the white florals.L'Air
