What do reviewers say about Blackbird and Salish Sea?
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
This is the fragrance for someone who wants the ocean without the sunscreen. Real marine, not a margarita advertisement. If you've ever stood on a rocky Pacific coastline and felt the water move.Salish Sea
