What do reviewers say about Hindu Grass and French Affair?
If you've ever wanted patchouli without the rawness, this is it. The camphorated quality keeps everything cool and clean, almost meditative. It lasts a full workday, but stays close.Hindu Grass
French Affair does not whisper. It settles into a cool, earthy base of smoky vetiver and moss that stays close, a confident and persistent skin scent.French Affair
