What do reviewers say about Shi-sõ and Enchanted Forest?
Most green fragrances play it safe, a little citrus, a little vetiver, call it a day. Shi-sõ doesn't flinch. That metallic snap in the opening is a statement: this is herbaceous and a little strange.Shi-sõ
This one leans heavily into green, tart blackcurrant territory, and it does not apologize for it. If fruity florals are your thing, Enchanted Forest delivers that initial punch with real conviction.Enchanted Forest
