What do reviewers say about Oriental Lounge and Absolu?
Some orientals want to fill the room. Oriental Lounge wants to live in it. The sillage stays close, intimate, not invisible, which means this is the fragrance for someone who knows that presence.Oriental Lounge
The orange blossom here isn't a nostalgic gesture, it is bold, modern, almost confrontational in its warmth. Jacques Cavallier-Belletrud bridges classical and contemporary without nostalgia.Absolu
