What do reviewers say about Marfa Spices and Scandal Absolu?
Some fragrances whisper. Marfa Spices makes an entrance. The tuberose absolute is the whole point, creamy, slightly animalic, unapologetically lush against a backdrop of dry Texan heat.Marfa Spices
If the original Scandal is a provocation, this is the aftermath, richer, rounder, and frankly harder to walk away from. The honeyed tuberose doesn't whisper. The sandalwood doesn't rush.Scandal Absolu
