What do reviewers say about Balahe and Alameda?
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 castoreum doesn't announce itself. It lingers. Slides under the powdery iris and warm amber like a door left slightly ajar. That's the whole gamble with Alameda.Alameda
