What do reviewers say about Back to the Roots and GNTONIC?
Not every fragrance needs to fill a room. Some are better left close to the skin, noticed only when someone leans in. This one's earthy, powdery, and surprisingly grounding.Back to the Roots
GNTONIC is not a safe summer scent. The tonic water note is unapologetically sharp, almost medicinal at the opening. But the lily of the valley heart and vetiver-moss drydown prove it has real depth.GNTONIC
