What do reviewers say about Zaya and Ambre Narguilé?
Zaya is sweet, warm, with notes of cognac, praline, and cinnamon. It announces itself clearly. The sillage is present, the longevity holds for hours. This is the one for someone who knows what they.Zaya
Jean-Claude Ellena stripped away the pretension and delivered something almost dangerously easy to wear. Its cinnamon spice keeps the sweetness from feeling juvenile.Ambre Narguilé
