What do reviewers say about Plum Japonais and Étui Noir?
Dense, dark, and unapologetically bold. Plum Japonais doesn't whisper or fade, it announces and then lingers on your collar, your scarf, the air behind you.Plum Japonais
Leather fragrances don't usually play nice. This one does, and that's why people who know this scent keep coming back. The iris powder is what separates it from every other smoky leather on the shelf.Étui Noir
