    What do reviewers say about Japanese Rituals and Romantica?

    The peony-and-rose heart does exactly what spa florals are supposed to do: calm, compose, make you smell like you showered recently. Some people catch a soapy edge at the opening.Japanese Rituals
    This is for someone who thinks more is more. Not quietly floral, not safe. Romantica wears its abundance like a bold print, confident, unapologetic, a little extra.Romantica
