    What do reviewers say about Plum Japonais and Ambre Khandjar?

    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
    If you want a safe, clean floral, look elsewhere. Ambre Khandjar wears its resins and woods with full confidence, and the plum note in the opening is genuinely addictive, even if it vanishes quickly.Ambre Khandjar
