What do reviewers say about Dry Wood and Tainted Love?
This one does not perform loudly. The base is confident in its own dry warmth, not for those hunting the loudest scent in the room, but for anyone who wants presence without.Dry Wood
Synthetic isn't a flaw, it's the point. Tainted Love opens with bright pear that melts into powdery violet and a lipstick accord, an openly cosmetic scent that invites you closer.Tainted Love
