What do reviewers say about Sideshow and Lust?

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

The jasmine here doesn't negotiate. It arrives indolic, heady, unapologetically itself, and that's precisely why people either adore it or turn away. Not safe. Not subtle.Lust
