What do reviewers say about Another 13 and Raku?

People either don't notice it or can't stop asking. The musks create a skin-close warmth that feels natural, like you just showered but better. Soft projection is the trade-off for intimacy.Another 13

It won't announce itself across a room. That's the point. Raku is built for the kind of presence that doesn't require the whole room to notice, just the space immediately around you.Raku
