What do reviewers say about Explicite and Ouverture?
Explicite does exactly what its name promises. The nutmeg and pink pepper opening hits quickly, then the praline and peony create something unexpectedly delicious in the heart.Explicite
Ouverture is the kind of fragrance that announces presence without screaming. The fig leaf and citrus opening is refreshingly natural, not synthetic. The drydown has serious longevity, staying close.Ouverture
