What do reviewers say about Elixir and Alien?
La Rive makes you wonder why you'd spend three times as much. Elixir delivers creamy jasmine and amber warmth that designer houses charge premium prices for.Elixir
Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
