What do reviewers say about Boreal and Relique D'Amour?
This is conifer realism, not conifer suggestion. The mint opens sharp enough to wake you up, then the forest softens around it. Some people want their pine scents to smell like car air fresheners.Boreal
This is not a fragrance for those who want effortless applause. The resins and moss create something genuinely spiritual. If you want sweet or linear, look elsewhere.Relique D'Amour
