What do reviewers say about Oriental Express and Fleur Oriental?
It's the carrot seed that starts arguments. Earthy, dry, almost mineral, this is not a typical oriental base. But in a powdery-woody composition like this one, it works.Oriental Express
Bold carnation and vanilla isn't a common pairing, and that makes this worth wearing. The powdery warmth that follows is the payoff, not a compromise.Fleur Oriental
