What do reviewers say about ONSEN and French Lover?
ONSEN is a fougère, a shower-gel fougère, some say, and they're not wrong. The herbs are creamy, not sharp. The aquatic isn't ozonic. It's the kind of composition that asks you to settle in.ONSEN
This isn't a fragrance that fills a room. It's for the person who understands that some of the best things happen at conversational distance. The moderate sillage isn't a flaw, it's the point.French Lover
