What do reviewers say about Dear Karma and Guilty Crush?
The absinthe is the tell. It gives this something most leather fragrances don't have, a bitter green edge that cuts through the sweetness. If you've been looking for something that smells expensive.Dear Karma
The lipstick note is what people either love or can't get past. That waxy, powdery cosmetic accord sitting on top of sweet cherry and warm vanilla? It's unusual. But once it clicks, it clicks.Guilty Crush
