What do reviewers say about Lust and Alien?

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

Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
