What do reviewers say about The Lover's Tale and Mont de Narcisse?
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 one splits opinion because it earns it. The name promises delicate yellow flowers; the fragrance delivers dark leather and smoke instead. Some call it a betrayal.Mont de Narcisse
