What do reviewers say about Calypso and Back To Musk?
The geranium opening is the test. Sharp, green, a little bitter, that puts some people off. But if you survive the first twenty minutes, what follows is worth it: a powdery rose softened by suede.Calypso
Most fragrances use musk as a vehicle. Back To Musk makes it the destination, and it's a place worth moving to. Soft enough to wear anywhere, but that powdery depth in the heart?Back To Musk
