What do reviewers say about Lumière Noire Pour Homme and Basala?
Masculine rose, done without flinching. Patchouli and cumin don't soften it, they make it stoic. This is what divided rooms, then brought them back together.Lumière Noire Pour Homme
The 1990s were drowning in aquatics and clean freshies. Basala went the opposite direction, a bold, leathery chypre with enough herbal complexity to smell like nothing else on the market.Basala
