    What do reviewers say about SOD and Luce?

    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
    Luce rewards the patient. The opening is a little austere, birch and leather don't immediately signal comfort. But the drydown earns its name: warm, close, almost whispered against skin.Luce
