What do reviewers say about Gerânio & Grapefruit and Velvet Rose & Oud?

Granado chose bitterness and green over the usual sweet citrus. That choice is the whole appeal. Restraint is a statement. The longevity sits in the moderate range, neither fleeting nor overwhelming.Gerânio & Grapefruit

This one leans into richness without heaviness. The rose is lush, the oud is present but not aggressive, and praline keeps things from getting too serious.Velvet Rose & Oud
