What do reviewers say about Marjolaine and Quartz?
The herb-marjoram meets aquatic lily. That's the tension that makes Marjolaine interesting, and keeps it from smelling like every other 90s green floral. It's quiet. Deliberately so.Marjolaine
Quartz presents its character directly. There's something mineral and clear about it that sets it apart from many fragrances. The citrus opening is quick and bright.Quartz
