    What do reviewers say about Beautiful and Unknown Pleasures?

    This is the fragrance you wear when you want to smell good without announcing it. Fruity and powdery, with just enough wood to keep it interesting, not a statement.Beautiful
    This is not the Kerosene you might expect. It trades stamped steel for honeyed sweetness without losing its edge. Black tea keeps it honest.Unknown Pleasures
