What do reviewers say about The Dark Side and Vetyver Bucolique?
No opening act, no gradual reveal. This extrait drops you directly into its heart and asks you to stay. A surprising softness and depth awaits those who linger.The Dark Side
Vetiver that doesn't ask permission. The honey makes it warm, the tobacco makes it honest, and the hay makes it strange in the best possible way. Some fragrances explain themselves.Vetyver Bucolique
