    What do reviewers say about Milky Way and Lost in a Dream?

    Milky Way does not try to be anything other than what it is. It is sweet, creamy, and deeply comforting, which means it will not appeal to those who prefer sharp or astringent fragrances.Milky Way
    A lactonic gourmand that doesn't apologize for being what it is. Milk and cinnamon together create a sensation almost like eating the air in a warm kitchen. It projects. It lasts.Lost in a Dream
