What do reviewers say about Velvet Date and Stercus?
The saffron opening hits like a warning shot, you're either in or you're out. But stay with it. What follows is warm, sweet, unapologetically rich. Oud, date, honey.Velvet Date
It wears its character without apology. The aldehydes provide an initial bright, crystalline quality, but underneath there's an animalic warmth that less assertive fragrances would clean away.Stercus
