What do reviewers say about Ophelia and Amaranthine?
Some fragrances shout. This one doesn't. Ophelia is built for the person who wants a floral that feels like it belongs to a story, tuberose and jasmine lush enough to matter.Ophelia
Tropical sweetness with a green bite, the banana leaf is the move. Either you're into that or you're not, but for those who are, it's the kind of unexpected note that makes you lean in closer.Amaranthine
