What do reviewers say about Lauren and Paris?

This is vintage Americana at its finest. It smells like the aspirational lifestyle catalog it came from. Woody drydown is a comforting, mossy embrace.Lauren

There's something about Paris that divides people in the best way. Some find it too much. Others find it exactly enough. The rose-violet combination is old-school in the most complimentary sense.Paris
