What do reviewers say about Unknown Pleasures and Sugar Grapefruit?
This is not the Kerosene you might expect. It trades stamped steel for honeyed sweetness without losing its edge. Black tea keeps it honest.Unknown Pleasures
Some fragrances announce themselves. Sugar Grapefruit whispers, then stays. The sillage is soft, the longevity is honest (don't expect more than a workday), and somehow that's the whole point.Sugar Grapefruit
