    What do reviewers say about Promise and Amber Malatya?

    Promise is not a shy fragrance. The clove-spiced rose and smoky cypriol drydown make it bold, but the apple opening keeps it grounded. It rewards patience, revealing its depths slowly over hours.Promise
    Sweet apricot and dark oud blend together in this fragrance, their combination working better than one might expect. Julien Rasquinet has found a way to bridge golden fruit with shadowy woods.Amber Malatya
