What do reviewers say about Caldo Gourmand and Alien?

Sweet enough to mean it. Not performative, not aggressive. The coconut milk keeps it from going full dessert, and the musk underneath means it settles into skin rather than air.Caldo Gourmand

Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
