What do reviewers say about Herbae and Fruit Défendu?
Some will find the nettle and grass too weedy for comfort. But that's exactly the point, real gardens aren't potpourri. If you've been searching for a fragrance that smells like you walked through.Herbae
Fruit Défendu is unapologetically fruity without turning into a synthetic candy blob. The mango-pineapple opening is genuinely vibrant, and the pink pepper in the heart keeps it from being too soft.Fruit Défendu
