What do reviewers say about Bigarade Concentree and Palermo?

Bitter orange isn't a forgiving note. It demands you commit. But that's exactly why it works, this is the concentrated version, not a diluted apology. The transparency isn't a flaw. It's the point.Bigarade Concentree

Some fragrances want to fill the room. Palermo wants to stay with you. That short arc isn't a flaw, it's the point. For the person who doesn't need a scent to announce itself.Palermo
