What do reviewers say about Portrait of a Lady and Contes du Levant?
Portrait of a Lady is rose pushed past comfortable. The Turkish rose doesn't whisper, it insists. Frankincense and patchouli anchor it in something smoky, almost ecclesiastical. Some find it too much.Portrait of a Lady
Built for the person who knows exactly what they want. That opening salvo of three peppers either hooks you immediately or doesn't, there's no middle ground.Contes du Levant
