What do reviewers say about Midnight Musk & Amber and Baccarat Rouge 540?
This is for the hour after the last event ends, the walk home, the nightcap, the exhale. Black musk gives it that animalic edge that splits people, but that's exactly why it works.Midnight Musk & Amber
This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
