What do reviewers say about No. II Ground and Prolégomènes?
This is a fragrance that knows when to step back. It opens spicy and confident, but the heart and base stay close, creating something that whispers rather than shouts.No. II Ground
Fig in perfumery usually goes one of two ways: green and leafy, or syrupy and dessert-like. Prolégomènes finds a third path, fig milk, which is exactly what it sounds like.Prolégomènes
