What do reviewers say about Big Sur and Floating?
If you've been searching for a fragrance that smells like California before it was filtered and monetized, like a trail after rain, like morning on a bluff, this is it. Not sweet. Not warm. Not safe.Big Sur
Floating is not a fragrance that announces itself. The initial peach and orchid are a personal discovery, settling into a clean laundry and sequoia base that feels like your own skin.Floating
