What do reviewers say about Hyrax and Belle Bete?
It smells like something that's been alive outdoors for centuries. That's not a metaphor. This fragrance doesn't ask for attention, it commands a place in memory.Hyrax
The animalic base is the whole point. If that makes you nervous, this isn't your fragrance. If it makes you lean in, it probably is. This is a scent that asks you to commit or walk away.Belle Bete
