What do reviewers say about Cuir de Lancôme and Miss Balmain?
Most leather fragrances want to dominate a room. Cuir de Lancôme plays a different game entirely, it's the scent of someone who walks in, sits down, and the room quietly rearranges itself around them.Cuir de Lancôme
Here's the thing about Miss Balmain: it doesn't smell like anything soft. Aldehydes, leather, carnation, oakmoss, this is chypre structure without apology.Miss Balmain
