What do reviewers say about Laila and Ming Shu?
This is the fragrance for someone who wants to smell good without thinking about it. Fresh and floral without trying too hard. Some say it shares a cousin with L'eau d'Issey.Laila
Some fragrances shout. This one doesn't need to. Ming Shu floats, the aquatic-peach opening clears space for water lily and lotus to drift, and the woody drydown keeps it present without ever pushing.Ming Shu
