What do reviewers say about Haxan and Carduus?
Over 100 ingredients. Most perfumers would call that ambition. Prissana calls it a séance. The density here is the point, you're not wearing a fragrance, you're wearing an entire apothecary.Haxan
Carduus doesn't negotiate. The opening hits like a wall of herbs, then transforms into something quiet and spiritual. If you've ever wanted a fragrance that feels like a ceremony, this is it.Carduus
