    What do reviewers say about De Profundis and Balenciaga L'Essence?

    De Profundis is not trying to make you happy. It opens in grief and stays there, then slowly accepts what it is. If chrysanthemum in combination with incense sounds like your idea of a good time,.De Profundis
    No sillage cloud, no 'notice me' moment. Just vetiver grounded by leather and moss, that forest-floor stillness. If you need to announce your arrival, look elsewhere.Balenciaga L'Essence
