What do reviewers say about Secret Joly and Fracas?
The jasmine-civet pairing isn't subtle, and it isn't trying to be. This is powdery warmth that asks whether you've actually smelled perfume before, and means it as a compliment.Secret Joly
Fracas is not subtle and never pretends to be. The tuberose accord is aggressive, the projection is commanding, and this fragrance announces itself from across a room.Fracas
