What do reviewers say about Dark Amber & Ginger Lily and Musk Nouveau?
This one confused people for years, the name suggests something heavy and dark, but the water lily and rose heart keep it feeling airy and feminine despite the oud and leather in the base.Dark Amber & Ginger Lily
This is the fragrance for someone who gets their coffee black and doesn't explain themselves. Coffee and beeswax form the heart of the composition, an unusual pairing that could lean toward sweetness.Musk Nouveau
