What do reviewers say about Duchessa and Leonis I?
If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
Dense, resinous, and unapologetic. The opening is sharp, davana's bitter edge doesn't wait for permission. If that's the kind of presence you're after, this is worth every euro.Leonis I
