What do reviewers say about Gershwin and Hamsa?
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
This is a serious, contemplative fragrance. If you want something that announces itself loudly in the first five minutes, look elsewhere. Hamsa rewards patience and rewards those who appreciate.Hamsa
