What do reviewers say about Ashoka and Ambre Russe?
Ashoka isn't trying to win you over in the first spray. That green-fierce opening either lands immediately or doesn't, but the payoff is the softly floral heart that comes after.Ashoka
Amber that means it. Not the quiet, skin-close kind. The imperial kind. If you've been searching for one that doesn't tiptoe, the Russian leather and spice will argue for you.Ambre Russe
