    What do reviewers say about Santa Monica and Oajan?

    This isn't the fragrance that announces itself across the room. Santa Monica is for the person who doesn't need the room to know they've arrived, it pulls you in instead.Santa Monica
    Oajan doesn't whisper. The cinnamon hits hard and the honey never lets go, but the osmanthus and artemisia keep it from becoming a sugar bomb. Not subtle, but never crude either.Oajan
