What do reviewers say about Narcotic Venus and Alien?

This is not a fragrance that asks permission. The white floral concentration is extreme, and the spicy undertones add unexpected depth. Wearing it requires commitment, but the payoff is absolute.Narcotic Venus

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
