What do reviewers say about Like a New Love and Desire Me?
Sweet, yes. But this isn't a shy sweet. The chocolate-coffee-vanilla arrives early, demanding to be felt. If you want a fragrance that hesitates at the door, look elsewhere.Like a New Love
This is the fragrance for someone who wants to smell like dessert without smelling like a bakery. The coffee and dark chocolate base is what people notice first, and then the peony sneaks up on you.Desire Me
