What do reviewers say about Coffee Addict and Followed?

This is not a subtle scent. Coffee Addict wears its coffee and caramel loud, and if you want nuance, look elsewhere. It is singular, sweet, and unapologetically cozy.Coffee Addict

This one means business. It's sweet, it's bold, and it projects like few others in the indie space. An amber base keeps that bold sweetness from becoming cloying.Followed
