What do reviewers say about Ananda Tchai and Ylang in Gold?
Ananda Tchai does something M. Micallef rarely attempts, it stays quiet. No crystal-bottle drama, no assertiveness. Just green tea, a dusting of nutmeg.Ananda Tchai
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
