What do reviewers say about Rendezvous and Absolue Pour le Soir?
This is the real thing. Full-spectrum animalic perfumery, the kind that doesn't hedge. If you want safe, look away. If you want a fragrance that actually says something.Rendezvous
There's a specific honey note here, unfiltered, almost waxy, that you don't find in many fragrances. Add the cumin and this stops being polite. If you've been curious about resin-heavy night scents,.Absolue Pour le Soir
