What do reviewers say about Promise and Forest.Blends.?
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
Most woody fragrances are content to smell like a candle. This one wants to be the wilderness itself, smoky, leathery, with rose petals scattered somewhere you can't quite reach.Forest.Blends.
