HAWTHORNE DESERT RUNWAY REVIEWS
Fragrantica: "I’ve never worn a fragrance that draws compliments so effortlessly. It opens with a nostalgic note that stirs memory, then evolves into a beautifully complex dry down. The scent trails behind you like a signature, bold and lingering. For the price, its performance feels almost unfair. S/o that boy Olivier Gillotin."
Fragrantica: "It begins fresh then slowly becomes woody. It smells really good for me, it's masculine, night, club, sexy perfume."
Fragrantica: "One of my favorite scents from Hawthorne. Previously sold by Hawthorne as "Soft and Airy Sandalwood". I think it's really well suited for a professional setting in cooler months without being too aggressive with spiciness, sweetness, or smokiness. Instead you have a soft opening with the cucumber balanced out with the violet, and the iris and sandalwood that's a touch creamy and a touch dry. It's somewhat similar to a couple other frags I have, "Palo Santo" by Cremo and "Book" by Commodity. Those really lean in to the dryness though and can come across smelling a little pickle-y, which can be offputting. I never get that from "Desert Runway". It smells distinct, and it lasts well into the work day. I always enjoy wearing it."
Fragrantica: "What a beautiful dry down! The opening is fresh (cucumber) and pleasant and after a few hours, the sandalwood and iris remain for hours, about 6 to 8 it is a really different fragrance unlike many in the market today, the vast majority smell generic and boring. This one really captured my senses and became my favorite."
