What do reviewers say about The Lover's Tale and La Tsarine?
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 is leather without the jacket. Warm, animalic, and built for someone who doesn't need a room to know they've entered it. The honey-saffron top holds court.La Tsarine
