What do reviewers say about Carnal Flower and Datura Noir?
This is not a safe blind buy. The tuberose here is bold, almost aggressive on some skin. But if you want a tuberose that smells like the actual flower in full sun, this earns its reputation.Carnal Flower
It smells like the most beautiful mistake you ever made. Sweet enough to keep you there, bitter enough to remind you it could go sideways. The coconut, almond, and white florals layer into something.Datura Noir
