    What do reviewers say about Kaya and Bois Doré?

    Some fruity fragrances feel like they peaked at the opening. Kaya keeps going. The rum in the drydown is what separates this from every other berry-vanilla in the rack.Kaya
    Sweet-woody with an edge. For someone who wants vanilla without the obvious, almond without the pastry. The mineral and pepper give it a pulse beneath the warmth. A quiet luxury, not a statement.Bois Doré
