What do reviewers say about Prolégomènes and No. II Ground?
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
This is a fragrance that knows when to step back. It opens spicy and confident, but the heart and base stay close, creating something that whispers rather than shouts.No. II Ground
