What do reviewers say about Spanish Veil and Velvet Tonka?
The smoky note doesn't announce itself. It lingers beneath the vanilla, giving this something other sweet woody fragrances lack, a memory of smoke that pulls you back in. It's not dramatic.Spanish Veil
Velvet Tonka is the kind of sweet that knows when to stop. Alexandra Carlin pulls off the trick of making almond and tonka feel indulgent without going oversaturated.Velvet Tonka
