    What do reviewers say about Elegance Sombre and California Chocolate?

    This isn't a polite fragrance. The orange-cocoa combo hits bold and unapologetic, sweet enough to crave, dark enough to wear when the temperature drops.Elegance Sombre
    Some citrus-gourmand fragrances go bright on top and sweet on bottom, leaving little memorable in between. This one takes a different approach. The white cognac adds a warmth that shifts everything.California Chocolate
