What do reviewers say about Lust and Pure Poison?

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

White florals at their most deliberate. This is the fragrance that doesn't ask permission, it just takes up space, cool and creamy and unafraid. Pure Poison isn't trying to convert you.Pure Poison
