What do reviewers say about Nanshe and XXY?
If you want a quiet aquatic that whispers rather than shouts, Nanshe delivers. The carrot seed opening surprises, but the heart is where this fragrance lives, and the powdery finish keeps you coming.Nanshe
The iris in XXY presents a compelling contradiction. Its powdery quality emerges first, soft and approachable, but beneath that surface lies something sharper, more clinical.XXY
