    What do reviewers say about Fragile and Pure Poison?

    The name is a joke. Fragile? This fragrance walks into a room like it owns the place, holds court for eight hours, and leaves a trace before you've even noticed.Fragile
    White florals at their most deliberate. This is the fragrance that doesn't ask permission, it just takes up space, cool and creamy and unafraid. Pure Poison isn't trying to convert you.Pure Poison
