What do reviewers say about Pure Perle and Black Star?
Pascal Morabito doesn't get the buzz it deserves, and this is part of the reason why. It's soft, powdery, and entirely unapologetic about it. Not everyone wants to smell like a statement.Pure Perle
Built for the 3-4 hours it lasts, not the hours it doesn't. That's the deal with Black Star. The longevity is modest, the sillage is intimate, but the drydown, where hibiscus meets chocolate.Black Star
