What do reviewers say about New York and Alexandria II?
New York opens bright and immediate, citrus oils and juniper cutting through with precision. The Orpur lavender and juniper keep things sharp and alive in the opening.New York
The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
