What do reviewers say about Sideshow and Dzing!?

This fragrance goes somewhere most sweet scents refuse to. The hyraceum gives it a musty, animalic undertone that honest-to-god smells like skin, real skin, not perfumery skin.Sideshow

This is what happens when caramel decides it doesn't want to be behaved. A leather jacket and ginger opening that's all clean heat and quiet assertion, then something warm and animal takes over.Dzing!
