What do reviewers say about Midsummer Woman and Velocity?
The aquatic note is the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like cold Scandinavian water, wildflowers, and cedar forests, this is your fragrance. It's clean in a way that polarises.Midsummer Woman
The tropical-fruity angle isn't for everyone, and that's exactly the point. Velocity leans into its playful side, bright and sweet in all the right ways.Velocity
