What do reviewers say about Charade and Complex?
Charade earns its name. White florals that start innocent, then the leather walks in and doesn't apologize. The honey makes it worse. Not a safe choice.Charade
This is a fragrance that splits rooms before it splits hearts. Leather and incense aren't exactly subtle, but what emerges is more austere than aggressive, smoke that breathes rather than demands,.Complex
