What do reviewers say about Raku and 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

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
