What do reviewers say about Babylon and Altaro?
This is for someone who wants warmth without aggression. Babylon opens with real spice, saffron, nutmeg, coriander, then folds into vanilla and cedar that stays close and warm.Babylon
The aldehydes give it a slight retro pull, the ghost of something your mother or grandmother wore, maybe. But don't let that scare you off. Beneath the powder lies a warm vanilla-spice that smells.Altaro
