What do reviewers say about English Major and Iris Malikhân?
English Major is specific. It does not smell like a candle labeled 'old books' or a generic warm vanilla. The Coconut adds an unexpected, soft tropicality.English Major
This is not for iris shy. The powdery, rooty quality is front and center throughout the wear, and the leather is genuine, not accidental. If you want a gentle orris, look elsewhere.Iris Malikhân
