What do reviewers say about Accento and Shalimar?

Sweetness backed by musk, amber, and vetiver that doesn't apologize for itself. There's depth here, not just pleasantry. The powdery iris heart gives it character, the kind that takes a stance.Accento

Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
