What do reviewers say about Explosive and Soir de Lune?
This is a fragrance that announces itself before you enter the room. The aldehydic punch gives it presence, the moss-patchouli base has weight, and it demands confident wear. Apply sparingly.Explosive
This is the fragrance for someone who knows what she wants and doesn't need to announce it. The honey note isn't a foodie-sweet gesture, it's the dark.Soir de Lune
