What do reviewers say about Al-Khat and Alien?

The animalic character isn't a flaw, it's the whole point. Xerjoff built something uncompromising here.Al-Khat

Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
