    What do reviewers say about Boxeuses and Plum Japonais?

    Licorice splits the room. Some wearers catch it medicinal, others find it the whole point. Either way, Boxeuses doesn't nudge. It declares. That split is the appeal, if everyone likes it.Boxeuses
    Dense, dark, and unapologetically bold. Plum Japonais doesn't whisper or fade, it announces and then lingers on your collar, your scarf, the air behind you.Plum Japonais
