What do reviewers say about Serenity and Varanasi?
The cumin is the tell. It gives Serenity an edge that leather-and-oud compositions usually bury. That said, the rose and jasmine keep it from becoming something you'd only wear after dark.Serenity
Not mass-appealing or office-safe. Varanasi demands commitment from the wearer and tolerance from those nearby. The animalic and leather components sit close to the skin but never fully retreat.Varanasi
