What do reviewers say about Samar and La Capitale?
Samar opens bold and doesn't apologize for it. That initial peppery clove burst might surprise those expecting something softer, but the floral heart saves it from becoming a one-note spice show.Samar
La Capitale does not whisper. Strawberry and caramel open sweet, leather and saffron take over, then benzoin, bourbon vanilla, and oud. It's for someone who wants to be noticed.La Capitale
