    What do reviewers say about Cassius and Tafakhar?

    Cassius doesn't tiptoe into a room. Nutmeg and tonka bean arrive with weight, and the vanilla keeps the warmth long after the opening settles. Bold enough to be memorable, smooth enough to wear again.Cassius
    Tafakhar doesn't whisper. It announces, and it does so with a boldness that usually costs far more. The spice-and-incense heart is its calling card, the note that keeps strangers asking and wearers.Tafakhar
