What do reviewers say about Favonius and Shem?
Favonius does not whisper. It announces itself with smoke, rose, and wood, and it lasts long enough to become part of the room. The wind metaphor works: this is scent as atmosphere, not accessory.Favonius
Shem doesn't try to please everyone. The leather in the drydown is not a whisper; it's a statement. If bold, structured fragrances appeal to you, this rewards wearing.Shem
