What do reviewers say about Lamar and Ascension?

Pineapple and rose together isn't subtle. It's a deliberate clash, and if that works for you, Lamar rewards with projection that announces arrival before the door opens.Lamar

There are plenty of fresh fragrances that stay clean. Ascension doesn't. That bergamot arrives with an edge, sharp and assertive in a way that feels deliberate.Ascension
