    What do reviewers say about Rubia Sucrée and Paris*L.A.?

    Rubia Sucrée is sweet, and it doesn't apologize. The vanilla-tonka base is warm enough to feel like comfort, not dessert, the citrus lifts everything so it never cloys.Rubia Sucrée
    The Coca-Cola note will pull you one of two ways, either it reads as playful and nostalgic, or it reads as too sweet. If you're the kind of person who wants gourmand without being obvious about it.Paris*L.A.
