What do reviewers say about Desert Thunderstorm and Warm Bulb?
The opening doesn't whisper. If you're searching for something quiet, keep walking, but if you want a fragrance that earns its name and doesn't let go, Desert Thunderstorm is that rare beast.Desert Thunderstorm
Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
