What do reviewers say about Black No. 05 and The Hope?
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
The warm spice here isn't playing it safe. Cinnamon, cloves, myrrh, and oud, it's the kind of composition that says something. The kind you either get or you don't.The Hope
