What do reviewers say about Carnival of Illustrious Hearts and Lola?
This is a fragrance that knows exactly what it is and refuses to apologize for it. Sweetness is the entire point. No hedged bets, no tonal ambiguity. If that sounds like your kind of afternoon.Carnival of Illustrious Hearts
Here's the thing about Lola: the opening is unapologetically sweet. Pink pepper and grapefruit sound sharp on paper, but on skin they play into the fruit rather than against it.Lola
