What do reviewers say about Black Sugar and Perfect Absolute?
This is sweet without being a sugar bomb. The caramel stays sophisticated rather than cloying, and the rosewood keeps it grounded enough for evening wear.Black Sugar
Perfect Absolute is the version of the original that earns its intensity tag. The caramelized fig opening hits faster and harder, and the jasmine heart does not let up. This is not a shy fragrance.Perfect Absolute
