What do reviewers say about Cubia and XXY?
Italian niche fragrance at Italian niche prices, you're paying for concentration and craft, not just the name. What you get is a fruity-woody that holds its shape from first spray to final drydown.Cubia
The iris in XXY presents a compelling contradiction. Its powdery quality emerges first, soft and approachable, but beneath that surface lies something sharper, more clinical.XXY
