What do reviewers say about Gershwin and Altruist Eau de Parfum?
The citrus-to-incense shift is notable here, the interplay between bright citrus and warm incense creating what some have called a distinctive character.Gershwin
Some fragrances shout to be noticed. Altruist doesn't need to. The opening is bright and immediate, citrus that sparkles, but there's a warmth underneath that builds over hours.Altruist Eau de Parfum
