What do reviewers say about Kyoto and California Snow?
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
California Snow earns its name through paradox. It smells like the hills after rain, not alpine peaks, green and herbal, grounded in soil. This is for someone who finds beauty in dry air and open.California Snow
