    What do reviewers say about Cactus Azul and Cape Heartache?

    This is the fragrance for people who find most fresh fragrances boring. It's linear, and that's the point. No drama, no performance. Just that cool, strange cactus water opening that stays with you.Cactus Azul
    Cape Heartache is not a safe blind buy. While strawberry-vanilla sounds gourmand, pine and hemlock are the true backbone. It's not a sweet, juicy fruit.Cape Heartache
