What do reviewers say about Nefs and Act 2?
This fragrance leans into itself without apology. Sweet enough to beguile, bold enough to fill a room. If you've ever wanted a scent that acts like it knows what it's worth, here it is. One spray.Nefs
Cardamom doesn't always play warm. In Act 2, it does, bright and powdery at first, then golden as the transparent woods take over. Some people want fragrance to fill a room.Act 2
