What do reviewers say about Le Participe Passé and Arabie?
One spray is enough. That's not a warning, it's the whole point. The sillage is significant, the longevity is above-average, and this fragrance wants to announce itself.Le Participe Passé
This one doesn't negotiate. Either it becomes your signature or it collects dust on a shelf. The spice- resin density pulls no punches, cumin, clove, warm myrrh layered over candied sweetness.Arabie
