What do reviewers say about Private Code and Rouge Chaotique?
Dates and plum over leather and oud isn't a quiet conversation. It's the kind of fragrance that arrives before you do, a statement made by someone who already knows what they want.Private Code
This one earns its reputation. Blackcurrant and plum give it a fruity sweetness that reads as approachable, while oud and papyrus in the drydown keep it from becoming a pure sugar bomb.Rouge Chaotique
