What do reviewers say about By Virtue of Sunbeams and Ambergris?
The suntan lotion note is the point, not a flaw. This isn't trying to smell like a real beach, it's the idea of summer, the feeling of it, distilled. Mango sweetness, sun-warmed skin.By Virtue of Sunbeams
This is what happens when a fragrance commits fully to its base. The leather and ambergris don't flirt, they arrive and stay. Mandarin gives you three minutes of courtesy before the real work begins.Ambergris
