    What do reviewers say about XXY and Solar?

    The iris in XXY presents a compelling contradiction. Its powdery quality emerges first, soft and approachable, but beneath that surface lies something sharper, more clinical.XXY
    This fragrance doesn't whisper. It arrives already warm, already bright, and owns every room it enters. For those who want solar energy without the usual citrus fade, it delivers.Solar
