What do reviewers say about Cape Heartache and Savage Beauty?
Cape Heartache is not a safe blind buy. While strawberry-vanilla sounds gourmand, pine and hemlock are the true backbone. It's not a sweet, juicy fruit.Cape Heartache
Some fragrances are content to be beautiful. This one wants something from you, the commitment to wear flowers that are not polite, oud that is not hiding, vanilla that has character.Savage Beauty
