What do reviewers say about French Affair and Kazimi?

French Affair does not whisper. It settles into a cool, earthy base of smoky vetiver and moss that stays close, a confident and persistent skin scent.French Affair

Boldness isn't optional here. The rose arrives dense, the animalic drydown arrives unannounced, and neither backs down. Kazimi is for the wearer who doesn't need a fragrance to ask permission.Kazimi
