What do reviewers say about Balahe and Cyane?
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
Built for the woman who doesn't need a room to know she's there. Cyane arrived in 1985 with a quiet confidence that hasn't aged out, powdery, warm, a little bit green. It's not trying to impress you.Cyane
