    What do reviewers say about Baruffa and Prelude?

    Aldehydes don't play it safe. They bring that vintage shimmer, powdery, almost candlelit, and Baruffa leans into it hard. Carnation and star anise add a theatrical edge that gives the aldehydic.Baruffa
    Prelude feels like it was designed to be worn, not just admired. The aldehydic opening is classic but the drydown moves into territory that reads modern even now.Prelude
