What do reviewers say about REA and SOD?
Floral gourmand sounds familiar. This one isn't. The chocolate isn't sweet, it's bitter, cutting through the tuberose and keeping things interesting. Ten hours of that.REA
SOD doesn't play it safe. It smells like dug earth, dark vetiver, a hint of civet, sweet, smoky, with real staying power. If you want to smell like the forest floor after rain, this is the one.SOD
