What do reviewers say about Kazimi and French Affair?
Boldness isn't optional here. The rose arrives dense, the animalic drydown arrives unannounced, and neither backs down. Kazimi is for the wearer who doesn't need a fragrance to ask permission.Kazimi
French Affair does not whisper. It settles into a cool, earthy base of smoky vetiver and moss that stays close, a confident and persistent skin scent.French Affair
