What do reviewers say about Prolégomènes and Gold?
Fig in perfumery usually goes one of two ways: green and leafy, or syrupy and dessert-like. Prolégomènes finds a third path, fig milk, which is exactly what it sounds like.Prolégomènes
Gold is unapologetically bold and animalic. The Civet and Ambergris in the base will polarize, and the Jasmine-Myrrh heart commands attention. It truly fills a room.Gold
