What do reviewers say about Faux Semblant and Ani?
The honey-orange blossom heart is lush, almost confectionery, but then the oud-sandalwood base arrives and remembers it has somewhere to be. It's that Givenchy move: pretty on the surface.Faux Semblant
Ani doesn't whisper. Cardamom and rose open with intention, then the vanilla takes over like it's been waiting all day. Sweet, yes, but there's a sharpness underneath that keeps it from being polite.Ani
