What do reviewers say about Heroin and Sauvage?
This is not a fragrance that whispers. The opening announces itself with absinthe's medicinal bite and almond's sweetNutty punch, a combination that either hooks you immediately or makes you pause.Heroin
Sauvage EDP is unapologetically bold. Synthetic in the best possible way, clean, sharp, designed to announce. If you want to whisper, this isn't the bottle.Sauvage
