What do reviewers say about Nirvana Black and Hypnotic Poison?
Three notes. Violet, sandalwood, vanilla. Not the most complex pyramid. But that's the point. When everything works in sync, you don't need artillery.Nirvana Black
Hypnotic Poison doesn't play it safe. The coconut and almond give it real weight, real warmth. It's sweet, yes, but with a density that borders on something you could almost eat.Hypnotic Poison
