What do reviewers say about Dark Desire and Interlude Man?
The animalic core isn't hidden, it's the point. If you've been curious about castoreum and civet, this is the Extrait that lets you find out what they're for.Dark Desire
It does not try to please everyone, and that is precisely why it works. The spice-and-resin architecture is bold but never bloated. A statement piece that rewards patience.Interlude Man
