    What do reviewers say about Vertige and Zen?

    The opening's citrus charge wears off quickly, but it's not really the point. This is a fragrance about what comes next, the warm, powdery heart where rose and iris settle into benzoin and sandalwood.Vertige
    Zen doesn't try to surprise you. It opens clean, stays floral, finishes warm, with quiet confidence that gets things done. If you want a fragrance that works everywhere without asking permission.Zen
