What do reviewers say about Always Red and Si?
The name says everything and nothing. Always Red opens with a tartness that surprises, plum skin, not plum jam. It's the kind of sweet that knows it doesn't need permission.Always Red
Si hits differently than most modern florals. That blackcurrant and saffron opening is sharp, confident, almost electric. Then the vanilla steps in and everything gets softer, warmer.Si
