What do reviewers say about Desert Paintbrush and Montana Sky?
The notes read like a dare. Spray paint? Bubble gum? Against gardenia and sand? Somehow it works. The unconventional heart of this composition is exactly what makes it worth wearing. Not for everyone.Desert Paintbrush
This isn't the fragrance that fills a room. It's the one you wear when you don't need anyone to know. Cedar and sage lean masculine on some skin, feminine on others, that's the point.Montana Sky
