What do reviewers say about Alien and Nikita?

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

Warm vanilla and tiare in an oriental-floral that prefers conversation to proclamation. The powdery drydown is the point. This is a fragrance for those who appreciate subtle composition.Nikita
