What do reviewers say about Gershwin and Live Jazz?
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
Most fresh fragrances give you citrus and call it a day. Live Jazz takes a different path. It gets herbal, gets slightly medicinal with rhubarb and coriander, then rewards you with vanilla warmth.Live Jazz
