What do reviewers say about Carduus and The Bee's Knees?
Carduus doesn't negotiate. The opening hits like a wall of herbs, then transforms into something quiet and spiritual. If you've ever wanted a fragrance that feels like a ceremony, this is it.Carduus
This isn't sweet. The opening hits like cold smoke and bitter herbs, then something warmer takes over, tobacco and leather holding close. If that sounds like your kind of conversation.The Bee's Knees
