What do reviewers say about Néroli Amara and Ricina?
Néroli Amara isn't interested in the room. It's interested in you. No projection wars, no performance anxiety. You won't even notice the transition to its warm, clean skin drydown.Néroli Amara
The opening is sweet enough to get you in the room. What keeps you there is the oakmoss underneath. That green, earthy depth is what stops this from being just another fruity floral.Ricina
