What do reviewers say about Ciel de Gum and Grain de Soleil?
This is warm amber doing exactly what warm amber does best, wrapping jasmine and vanilla in something that reads as luxury without trying. No edge, no darkness.Ciel de Gum
The frankincense and vanilla make this fragrance work overtime. Powdery warmth, yes, but the smoke keeps it from being precious. It's the kind of scent that asks for a second look, not because it's.Grain de Soleil
