What do reviewers say about 173 Candy and Alien?
The name promises one thing. The fragrance delivers something else entirely, and that's exactly the point. Called 173 Candy but built like a grown-up floral with real amber depth.173 Candy
Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
