What do reviewers say about Vetiver & Golden Vanilla and The Smart Set?

Most vanillas play it safe, they want to be liked. This one remembers it grew up in a pod, earthy and slightly smoky, and leans into that. The mineral vetiver is the perfect foil.Vetiver & Golden Vanilla

Some fragrances want to own the room. This one wants to own the moment. The Smart Set is for the person who's already walked in and sat down, someone who doesn't need to announce themselves.The Smart Set
