What do reviewers say about La Belle de Russie and Midnight Poison?
This fragrance demands a certain kind of commitment. The powdery floral heart isn't for those who want scent to disappear into the background. La Belle de Russie's musk and patchouli ground.La Belle de Russie
The rose doesn't ask permission. Neither does the patchouli. Together they build a presence that arrives before you've entered the room, yet somehow the vanilla keeps it from ever being too much.Midnight Poison
