What do reviewers say about Kyoto and Lesedi La Rona I?
The beetroot note will divide opinion. Mineral earth, dark rose, smoke. The fragrance combines these elements in a way that does not compromise or soften its edges.Kyoto
Powdery fragrances get a bad reputation for being cold. This one earns its coolness. The iris is refined, the florals are textured, and the leather base keeps everything grounded. It's not whispering.Lesedi La Rona I
