What do reviewers say about Courtesan and Outrageous?
There's a lot happening in here. Six top notes, four heart notes, nine base notes. But Courtesan doesn't throw everything at you at once. It unfolds in waves, spice first, then florals.Courtesan
Outrageous earns its name. It's unapologetically sweet, unapologetically loud, and unapologetically fun. Some called it too much, others found it exactly right.Outrageous
