What do reviewers say about Daim Blond and Rendez-Vous?
The leather that doesn't announce itself. Powdery, soft, with an apricot sweetness that makes the animalic feel like skin, not a car seat. It sits close. You lean in to catch it.Daim Blond
Most colognes are about the entrance. Rendez-Vous is about what happens after you've already sat down. The citrus opens clean, almost familiar, then quietly shifts into something powdery and intimate.Rendez-Vous
