What do reviewers say about Ashoka and Fille en Aiguilles?
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
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
