    Real talk

    Some fragrances announce themselves. Palimpsest waits. The yuzu opens crisp, then the florals take over, jasmine, peach, ylang-ylang in a lush tangle, before firetree's smoky depth settles in.Palimpsest
    Honey-forward fragrances walk a fine line between lush and cloying. Botrytis stays on the right side by letting grape and quince provide a vinous backbone, the sweetness knows it has somewhere to go.Botrytis
