What do reviewers say about Diwan and La Capitale?
Here's what makes Diwan worth your time: it's a fresh fragrance that actually commits. The opening burst of citrus and marine notes gives way to something deeper as the hours pass.Diwan
La Capitale does not whisper. Strawberry and caramel open sweet, leather and saffron take over, then benzoin, bourbon vanilla, and oud. It's for someone who wants to be noticed.La Capitale
