What do reviewers say about Paris and Atelier Noir?
There's something about Paris that divides people in the best way. Some find it too much. Others find it exactly enough. The rose-violet combination is old-school in the most complimentary sense.Paris
The violet isn't sweet or powdery, it reads blackened, felt before it's smelled. There's an immediacy to the opening that gives way to something more layered and patient.Atelier Noir
