What do reviewers say about Before Midnight and Emblem Intense?
The synthetic-fruity character either appeals or doesn't. But when tonka and tobacco hold the drydown warm and confident, the composition achieves a satisfying completeness.Before Midnight
The opening can read synthetic. Give it twenty minutes. What arrives is a warm, spiced suede that people stop you to ask about. It's not for those who want to be heard.Emblem Intense
