    What do reviewers say about Yin 2 and Oriens?

    The praline is what sets this apart. Not just another sweet fragrance, there's depth here, and the Jacques Fath name carries weight even when the bottle's hard to find.Yin 2
    Sweet enough to eat, dry enough to wear. The patchouli keeps the praline from becoming dessert candles. Oriens walks the line between fruity and edible.Oriens
