What do reviewers say about Spanish Veil and Noir Exquis?
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
Noir Exquis sits in a sweet spot between a Gourmand and a woody fragrance. The coffee and maple give it genuine richness, but the wood and heliotrope keep it from feeling like dessert.Noir Exquis
