What do reviewers say about Encounters and Felanilla 21?
This is Francesca Bianchi doing what she does best, colliding cultures into something beautiful and slightly unsettling. The castoreum and oud are not subtle.Encounters
This is vanilla for someone who doesn't usually like vanilla. The iris keeps it from getting cloying, the saffron adds quiet intrigue, and the hay grounds it in something real.Felanilla 21
