What do reviewers say about Clandestine and Jais?
The aldehydes give it cool shimmer over warm honey and civet. It does not apologize. Some find it a gorgeous 80s relic; others find it almost punishing.Clandestine
The fragrance moves through distinct phases, each with its own character. The opening is fruity and bright, the heart opulent and floral, the base warm and animalic.Jais
