What do reviewers say about The Lover's Tale and It Was A Time That Was A Time?

This is a fragrance that asks you to commit. The opening honey feels gorgeous, but the castoreum-leather drydown is not for the faint of heart. If you want a gentle floral, look elsewhere.The Lover's Tale

This isn't the aquatic you know. No calone, no clean cotton. The sea here is literal, ambergris, salt, the mineral edge of tides pulling back from dark wood.It Was A Time That Was A Time
