What do reviewers say about Barénia and Experimentum Crucis?
Barénia is not trying to impress anyone. It starts bright and gets quietly confident, ending in a dry woody place that feels very much Hermès. If you want loud, look elsewhere.Barénia
The cumin in the opening will make people turn their heads. That's not an accident, it's the experiment. If your rose is meant to smell clean and polite, you haven't met this one.Experimentum Crucis
