What do reviewers say about Lothair and Virgile?
Lothair is the rare fragrance that actually smells like its name suggests. It is not sweet or pushy, it does not demand attention. It offers quiet, refined intrigue.Lothair
Virgile's vanilla doesn't arrive sweet. It comes quiet, almost herbal itself, softened by sage and cedar. For those who want warmth without sugar, this is the angle.Virgile
