What do reviewers say about Faux Semblant and Noir de Noir?
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
Noir de Noir leans harder into earth than into sweetness. The black rose is beautiful, but the truffle and oud make it feel nocturnal rather than romantic.Noir de Noir
