What do reviewers say about Rose & Cuir and Shem?
This is the fragrance that people either can't stop thinking about or can't understand at all. The Sichuan pepper's bite, the austere green geranium that dominates instead of supports.Rose & Cuir
Shem doesn't try to please everyone. The leather in the drydown is not a whisper; it's a statement. If bold, structured fragrances appeal to you, this rewards wearing.Shem
