What do reviewers say about Grain de Poudre and Arashiyama?
Some want to be smelled across the room. This isn't that fragrance. Grain de Poudre is for the person who understands that the best conversations happen at arm's length.Grain de Poudre
Atmospheric, not projecting. More morning fog than statement piece. Some call that limitation; others call it the green they actually want to breathe. The crowd hasn't arrived yet.Arashiyama
