    What do reviewers say about Ciao and Safari?

    Some fragrances announce themselves. Ciao doesn't. The cumin opens a door to something private, the kind of leather you only smell when someone sits beside you.Ciao
    Safari doesn't ask permission. That aldehydic green opening either pulls you in or makes you wait, but give it an hour and the jasmine-rose heart makes believers of skeptics.Safari
