I don’t have much to say about the frags themselves, but I’m a total sucker for that bottle in the ad.
I like it too. And it’s a different color for each of the fragrances. The men’s bottle is taller and thinner.
Colour me intrigued! Their home fragrances and candles were really lovely and this bottle design is very pretty and promising looking too.
The notes sound simple and elegant, perhaps they can even be layered..?
And the 9 ml minis might help with that, if they’re actually widely distributed…
I want to smell them all and love the 9ml size! The layering possibilities alone are intriguing.
They sound simplistic but could be Spectacular in their minimalism. Love the bottle!
