What do reviewers say about Sublime Balkiss and Castile?
Chypre has a reputation for being serious, even stern. This one isn't. The cool green opening, violet leaf, bergamot, blackcurrant, hooks you first. Then the florals do what florals do.Sublime Balkiss
Castile doesn't pretend to be anything it isn't. Traditional soap, elevated by Penhaligon's. That's the whole appeal. For someone who finds most fragrances loud and excessive, this is honest.Castile
