What do reviewers say about Black and Cassiopea?
Fruity, but with something underneath worth staying for. This is the kind of scent that earns its drydown. The opening plays bright and accessible, but give it an hour and it shows you something.Black
Cassiopea means business. That opening is unapologetically loud, built to announce itself. The heart is where it earns its niche stripes.Cassiopea
