What do reviewers say about Perle Rare Intense and Poison?

Panouge built this one around osmanthus, an ingredient most Western houses avoid because it's difficult. That apricot-and-leather note sits right at the edge of sweet and strange.Perle Rare Intense

Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
