    What do reviewers say about Esencia de Duende and Paris?

    Discontinued, yes. But this is a fragrance at its most considered, a green floral at its most confident. Cool, structured, slightly unknowable.Esencia de Duende
    There's something about Paris that divides people in the best way. Some find it too much. Others find it exactly enough. The rose-violet combination is old-school in the most complimentary sense.Paris
