What do reviewers say about Blackbird and Golden Cattleya?
Blackberry and fir are not subtle notes, they're here to announce themselves. The tart edge splits the room: some find it electrifying, others find it sharp. That charge is the whole point.Blackbird
Some fragrances sweeten the room. This one sweetens the skin, a warm, honeyed glow that behaves like it belongs there. Cream soda gives it an unexpected twist. Vanilla keeps it honest.Golden Cattleya
