What do reviewers say about Prolixe and Dirty Violet?
This is for people who want to be smelled. The cardamom opening is a statement, aromatic, unapologetic, and the rose-tobacco drydown is what makes strangers stop and ask. Bold, yes.Prolixe
The violet leaf sourness is the real question here. On some skin, in some weather, it reads almost acidic. On others, it's the most beautiful green note of the year. The patchouli is bold.Dirty Violet
