What do reviewers say about Samsara Eau de Toilette and Bois des Iles Eau de Parfum?
Some fragrances announce themselves. Samsara arrives like someone who doesn't need to. The sandalwood is the whole point, used here in quantities that had never been attempted for women's wear.Samsara Eau de Toilette
Some fragrances announce themselves. This one just arrives and stays. The sandalwood-ylang-ylang combination is old money in the best sense, not nostalgic, just correct.Bois des Iles Eau de Parfum
