What do reviewers say about River of Love and Wish?
The name sounds like a Valentine's Day card. The fragrance is not. It's got dark chocolate in the base and a caramel swagger that demands attention. Sweet enough for the label.River of Love
Rice flower makes this the horchata of fragrances. If you've wanted a vanilla that doesn't smell like extract, like a candle, like something borrowed, this is it. Sweet enough to wear to bed.Wish
