    Not another rose-and-musk on a waiting list. Geisha plays the powdery-fruity card differently, the sweetness arrives clean, stays interesting, and the drydown has actual depth.Geisha
    The aldehydic opening is not subtle. It never was, and it never should be. Once that initial burst settles, the powdery floral heart and creamy drydown justify every bit of the hype.Chanel No 5 Eau de Toilette
