    What do reviewers say about The One Essence and Shanghai Lily?

    This is creamy, sweet, and completely unapologetic about it. Some will call it a skin scent, and that's exactly the point. The white florals keep it from going full gourmand.The One Essence
    The clove in the opening hits like a dare. Either that sharpness hooks you immediately, or it doesn't. But give it an hour, the floral heart softens everything, the vanilla and benzoin warm up.Shanghai Lily
