What do reviewers say about Balahe and Habanita?
Balahe doesn't ask permission. One spray and you're in for the evening, the aldehydes announce themselves, the florals deepen, and by the time the vanilla arrives you're committed.Balahe
The opening is odd. Mastic and petitgrain don't usually share space, yet here they do. It reads medicinal, resinous, almost astringent before the vanilla arrives.Habanita
