What do reviewers say about Always 2018 and Belle de Nuit?
The thing about Always 2018 is that it knows how to be pretty without trying too hard. No sharp edges. No aggression. Just a soft, confident floral that wears like a second skin and asks nothing of.Always 2018
The dried plum here is the tell. Dark, jammy, it brings a quality rarely found in traditional French florals. This gives the fragrance a character that rewards attention.Belle de Nuit
