What do reviewers say about Fables d'Orient and Velvet Tonka?
This is the fragrance for someone who thought they didn't like powdery scents. The heliotrope is unctuous, almost gourmand, but the nutmeg keeps it from drifting into lotion territory.Fables d'Orient
Velvet Tonka is the kind of sweet that knows when to stop. Alexandra Carlin pulls off the trick of making almond and tonka feel indulgent without going oversaturated.Velvet Tonka
