    What do reviewers say about Aqua Paradisi and Vaara?

    Rose and violet is a quiet statement. Not loud, not flashy, this is the fragrance you wear when you want something present but not announced. The bergamot keeps it lifted, the violet keeps it close.Aqua Paradisi
    Vaara is a polished, approachable rose that avoids both the classical and the avant-garde. The quince and saffron give it a subtle tartness, but ultimately this is a well-mannered, genteel fragrance.Vaara
