What critics say

Katie Berohn, Who What Wear, June 20, 2023

Katie Berohn says that she and her partner have been “smitten with the fragrance since our first spritz.” For him, the scent evokes the ocean; for her, the Côte d’Azur, and they fight over the bottle every day.

She concludes that one of them wears it almost every day: “one of us is wearing it every day.”
