What do reviewers say about De Profundis and Sepulcra?
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
Quiet confidence. The sillage stays intimate, smoky benzoin and incense that pulls people closer. For someone who'd rather be remembered than noticed.Sepulcra
