What do reviewers say about Gothic I and Coven?
The vanilla doesn't behave. It leans earthy, almost dusty, not the clean gourmand you'll find in every celebrity release. Paired with Indian patchouli's dark character, this is sweetness with an edge.Gothic I
Some fragrances ask if you're ready. Coven doesn't. The galbanum and oakmoss create an unusual earthiness, somewhere between old-growth forest and ancient stone, but the vanilla and whiskey.Coven
