What do reviewers say about Gong and Daring Dragon?
Gong is not a safe blind buy. The Dorayaki note is unusual, almost edible, and the drydown leans into smoky wood territory that may surprise those expecting a standard floral or citrus.Gong
A dragon that doesn't roar. Sophie Labbé built this around bright yuzu and mandarin, then softened it with almond blossom and a quiet tea note. The vanilla in the base keeps things warm without.Daring Dragon
