What do reviewers say about Crème Exquis and Pardon?
Sweetness is the entry point. The iris keeps it from becoming a dessert, cherry, chocolate, and caramel hold it together. Powdery enough to intrigue, warm enough to become an obsession.Crème Exquis
This is sweeter than you might expect from the name. The magnolia and tonka give it a softness that plays against the oud base. If you want pure darkness, look elsewhere.Pardon
