What do reviewers say about Cantate and L'Heure Magique?
The opening arrives like a liqueur, spiced rose, boozy and confident. Some people call it soapy. Others call it the hour before the fire gets lit. Either way.Cantate
The powder isn't your grandmother's powder. It's the clean warmth of recently-washed skin, worn under a cashmere wrap at the hour when the light turns amber.L'Heure Magique
