What do reviewers say about Serpentine and Indigo?

Cardamom opens assertive, almost medicinal, and on some skin the effect is striking. Then the honey arrives, soft and sweet, creating a turning point in how the fragrance unfolds.Serpentine

Indigo occupies a particular space, neither purely fresh nor distinctly warm. The fig-bergamot opening is undeniably pretty, but it is the tea heart that gives this fragrance its point of view.Indigo
