What do reviewers say about Aspire and Escada Margaretha Ley?
Critics call it dated. Fans call it elegant. The aldehydes are sharp, the iris powdery, and that cedar drydown, it won't fill a room, but it doesn't need to.Aspire
Floral Orientals aren't supposed to be this confident. Most lean soft, powdery, polite. This one opens green and stays decided, hyacinth's snap followed by coconut warmth that doesn't flinch.Escada Margaretha Ley
