What do reviewers say about Ellipse and Mystere?
Ellipse doesn't shout. That's the whole point. The oakmoss and leather are old-school chypre territory, intimate, almost private. The fragrance unfolds gradually on the skin.Ellipse
This is the fragrance for someone who's already found what she wants. Not trying to impress anyone at the party, just there, occupying space with quiet certainty.Mystere
