Real talk
The opening is lush to the point of being confrontational, and the drydown asks you to be patient. If the incense and spice structure appeals, this rewards the wait.Calycanthus Brumae
Fresh citrus that refuses to be boring. The mint hits like menthol, then the immortelle drydown takes over, herbal, earthy, unexpectedly warm. Some find it medicinal.L'eau des Hesperides
