What do reviewers say about Affection and Poison?
Affection genuinely reads as soft, sweet, and approachable. It's not trying to command attention, and that restraint is part of its appeal. The warmth of the osmanthus combined with the peony heart.Affection
Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
