What do reviewers say about Clair de Lune and Vanitas?
Honeyed rose with real cinnamon bite, not the synthetic kind that fades to sugar. This is the fragrance for someone who chose it on purpose, not someone following a trend.Clair de Lune
Some vanilla fragrances play it safe. Vanitas goes for something bolder and more interesting, warm, long-lasting, and anything but forgettable. The kind of presence that turns heads without trying.Vanitas
