What do reviewers say about Secret Tryst and African Leather?
This is a fragrance for those who know what they want. The saffron-cardamom opening is assertive, but the rose and vanilla base keeps it sensual rather than aggressive.Secret Tryst
The opening is bold and unapologetic. That contrast, spicy and leathery at once, creates an immediate statement. People who love it tend to wear it as their signature.African Leather
