What do reviewers say about Calypso and Gourmandises?
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
Sweet enough to draw you in. Spicy enough to keep you guessing. That saffron-sugar contrast is what makes it divisive, and unforgettable. One whiff and you'll understand the pull.Gourmandises
