What do reviewers say about Under My Skin and Afrika Olifant?
Bianchi built this around castoreum and leather but she tempered them, eliminated the sweet animalics that felt too easy. The carnation iris leather that remains is the harder choice, and it asks.Under My Skin
This is not for the faint-hearted. If resinous animalics sound intimidating, this fragrance will confirm every suspicion. But for those who want to smell like an experience rather than a product,.Afrika Olifant
