What do reviewers say about Boyfriend and Hypnotic Poison?
Plum and benzoin don't often share a stage, but here they hold the whole show. If you've ever loved a fragrance that felt like someone's collar, like warmth you didn't create, this is the one.Boyfriend
Hypnotic Poison doesn't play it safe. The coconut and almond give it real weight, real warmth. It's sweet, yes, but with a density that borders on something you could almost eat.Hypnotic Poison
