    What do reviewers say about Mandarava and MEM?

    Mandarava isn't about the heavenly promise, it's about what happens on skin. Longevity proves exceptional, lasting through multiple activities without reapplication.Mandarava
    The malt. That's the thing. That toasted, warm, bread-from-the-kitchen sweetness that runs through MEM's dark lavender, this is what people either love or can't get past.MEM
