What do reviewers say about Queen of Hearts and Palimpsest?
Queen of Hearts doesn't whisper. It's bold oriental warmth with a fruity-spicy opening that declares itself in the first minute. That frankincense and amber base is what people remember, smoky.Queen of Hearts
Some fragrances announce themselves. Palimpsest waits. The yuzu opens crisp, then the florals take over, jasmine, peach, ylang-ylang in a lush tangle, before firetree's smoky depth settles in.Palimpsest
