    What do reviewers say about Grain de Soleil and Ambre & Santal?

    The frankincense and vanilla make this fragrance work overtime. Powdery warmth, yes, but the smoke keeps it from being precious. It's the kind of scent that asks for a second look, not because it's.Grain de Soleil
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants warmth without heaviness. The herbal opening keeps it honest; the vanilla-sandalwood base keeps it cozy. It's not trying to fill a room.Ambre & Santal
