What do reviewers say about Fleur Noire and Ylang in Gold?
Here's the thing about white florals: they can read as grandmother. This one doesn't. The orchid keeps it interesting, the patchouli keeps it grounded, and the vanilla keeps you coming back.Fleur Noire
The sweetness pulls people in two directions. Some smell banana and bubblegum, others smell something more complex and layered. Here's the thing: it's unapologetically warm.Ylang in Gold
