What do reviewers say about Cherry Ink and Dare?
Cherry Ink is not a polite cherry fragrance. It opens like a spilled bottle of maraschino liqueur meets dark rum, then gets stranger and more interesting as the ink note develops.Cherry Ink
Cherry and lychee open sweet, almost dangerously so. Then the black pepper hits. The leather settles underneath. Suddenly it's not just another fruity floral.Dare
