    Real talk

    It does exactly what a layered fragrance should: it changes on you. The citrus-lavender opening is clean and assertive, but give it twenty minutes and honeyed jasmine takes over, followed hours later.Enigma
    Iris and amber don't argue for attention. They settle in, confident, almost lazy, the way someone who's already sure of themselves doesn't need to raise their voice.Athena
