What do reviewers say about Karma and Lust?
Some fragrances whisper. Karma doesn't get the memo. It's patchouli and orange, warm and unafraid, built for people who'd rather be remembered than blend in.Karma
The jasmine here doesn't negotiate. It arrives indolic, heady, unapologetically itself, and that's precisely why people either adore it or turn away. Not safe. Not subtle.Lust
