What do reviewers say about Kuwait and Santal Noir?
Bold projection and a pronounced animalic character mean this fragrance announces itself before you do. That confrontational quality is exactly the draw for those who want scent as statement.Kuwait
A full workday and late night on the same skin. That's Santal Noir, a woody-floral built for the hour streetlights take over. It's not trying to please everyone in the room, it wants the one person.Santal Noir
