What do reviewers say about Shermine and Fille en Aiguilles?
Lavender and vanilla sounds like something your grandmother wore. Shermine isn't. The cardamom keeps it interesting, the woods keep it grounded, and eight hours means you won't need to reapply.Shermine
Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
