    What do reviewers say about Deep Red and True Red?

    Deep Red doesn't play coy. The blackcurrant is tart-sweet and unapologetic, and the ginger keeps it from cloying. The heart is where things get interesting, but the real star is that warm, creamy.Deep Red
    You grab this when you want to smell good without overthinking it. Fruity-sweet, musky base, works anywhere. That's the appeal. Also the limit, accessible can mean forgettable.True Red
