What do reviewers say about Sonnet and Coriandre?
Sonnet doesn't hit modern. It hits vintage, aldehydic, powdery, the kind of composition that divided opinion even when it launched. If you're looking for the sweet stuff everyone wears now.Sonnet
A true aldehydic chypre that does not apologize for its age. The coriander note is subtle rather than dominant, lending intrigue rather than boldness.Coriandre
