What do reviewers say about Insomnia and Black Widow?
Insomnia earns its name. It's loud, it's sweet, it's unapologetic, dark chocolate and Cuban rum hit hard and refuse to fade for 8+ hours. This one feels remarkably real.Insomnia
The opening either hooks you or makes you wait. That orange blossom hits sweet and exotic, almost too much for thirty seconds, then the sage and oakmoss arrive like a door closing on a bright room.Black Widow
