What do reviewers say about Retba and Midnight Journey?
The saffron doesn't whisper. It arrives bold, tinged with the same magenta that colors Lake Retba. If you're looking for something safe, look elsewhere.Retba
Sweet enough to wrap around you, spicy enough to keep things interesting. The kind of fragrance that starts conversations you didn't plan on having, if you're drawn to warm, resinous compositions.Midnight Journey
