What do reviewers say about Belle de Nuit and Forbidden Games?
The dried plum here is the tell. Dark, jammy, it brings a quality rarely found in traditional French florals. This gives the fragrance a character that rewards attention.Belle de Nuit
Honey-rich fruity florals divide people, some find them edible, others say they're too sweet for real life. Here's the thing: Forbidden Games doesn't try to apologize for the sweetness.Forbidden Games
