Here’s an under-the-radar fragrance from Ard Al Zaafaran that I’ve had in my collection for a few years, yet have seen next to nothing about online, and I’ve no idea if it’s supposed to be a clone. Suitably green-coloured, it’s […]
I’ve been reading Ian Robb Wright since around 2015 when I downloaded a copy of Seasick for free from Amazon. I really enjoyed that one and went on to read Final Winter which I also enjoyed and Ian Robb Wright’s […]
