    What do reviewers say about Merengue and Granada?

    This is the fragrance for people who want tropical but won't settle for simple. The sorbet opening is gorgeous, mango, guava, coconut cream, but it earns its keep with incense and ambroxan underneath.Merengue
    Granada leans into warmth rather than volume. The jasmine and rose are lush, the beeswax and mate unusual enough to make this interesting, but it stays close to the skin. Moderate sillage.Granada
