What do reviewers say about La Gitane and Cuir Velours?
This one divides rooms. The gypsy aesthetic isn't subtle, castoreum, leather, saffron, the whole bohemian tarot-card energy. For some it's a campfire you can't leave.La Gitane
The immortelle and rum sound like a folk remedy. The leather and frankincense sound like something ancient. Together, they make something that shouldn't work but absolutely does.Cuir Velours
