    That green bell pepper opening will either pull you in or make you question everything. It's the whole point. Bold, almost raw, not safe, not soft, not what you'd expect from a luxury house.Wicked Love
    This is a winter fragrance with zero apology about it. That bright citrus-green opening against the cold months? That's the whole point. Not trying to smell like summer in January.Northern Cardinal
