What do reviewers say about Cape Heartache and Soft Woods?
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 shout. This one walks beside you. The juniper and pepper open sharp, then recede to let the rose and fir do their thing, slowly, without apology.Soft Woods
