What do reviewers say about Xeryus and Enigme?
This is a proper 1986 powerhouse. If you want something that announces itself without asking permission, you've found it. The carnation-cypress heart gives it that slightly spicy.Xeryus
This is one of those discontinued Pierre Cardin fragrances people keep stumbling onto and asking why this ever stopped being made. Alberto Morillas approached this like a real commission.Enigme
