What do reviewers say about Black No. 05 and Aymara?
This is for someone who got tired of fragrance as performance. The projection stays intimate, almost frustrating if you want to fill a room, perfect if you want to leave a memory.Black No. 05
Built for the person who wears fragrance like they mean it. Not for the room, for themselves. The smoke is austere, the drydown close. Moderate sillage means it won't announce you.Aymara
