What do reviewers say about Empressa and Hypnotic Poison?
This is the fragrance for someone who's stopped apologizing for wanting to smell good. It's fruity, it's floral, it's unapologetically lush, and if you think that's a flaw.Empressa
Hypnotic Poison doesn't play it safe. The coconut and almond give it real weight, real warmth. It's sweet, yes, but with a density that borders on something you could almost eat.Hypnotic Poison
