What do reviewers say about Afraid of the Dark: Ode de Vampyre and Violet Lilac Dream?
A fragrance built for those who find roses beautiful because they're wilting. Dark, resinous, with enough honey to keep the oud from feeling like homework.Afraid of the Dark: Ode de Vampyre
The florals here don't behave the way florals usually do. Lilac and violet are notoriously fleeting, gone in twenty minutes on most skin. Here, the chocolate wraps around them like a slow hand.Violet Lilac Dream
