What do reviewers say about Nuit de Bakélite and Bolt of Lightning?
This is not a polite fragrance. Nuit de Bakélite opens aggressive, stays intense, and leaves a smoky halo that announces your presence long after application.Nuit de Bakélite
The opening isn't a hurdle to clear before the 'real' fragrance begins. That green accord is the composition. Some find it a shock. Others find it the whole point. Both are right.Bolt of Lightning
