What do reviewers say about Koala and 1828?
Koala takes a literal eucalyptus forest and translates it through fine perfumery. The opening is strikingly fresh and green, the heart surprisingly earthy and tea-like.Koala
This is not a crowd-pleaser. The eucalyptus opening will polarize, and the pepper-heavy heart does not apologize for itself. If you want a polite citrus freshie, look elsewhere.1828
