    What do reviewers say about Luminous Sahara and Perseus?

    The sweetness here is real, praline, tonka, candied almond, but it's not fragile. The spices (cardamom, cinnamon) keep it from floating away. Think of it as dessert with a backbone.Luminous Sahara
    This fragrance doesn't whisper. The grapefruit opening is assertive, almost confrontational in its freshness. If you like your citrus to bite, this is your scent.Perseus
