What do reviewers say about Topaze and First?
Aldehydic florals aren't just for vintage enthusiasts. Topaze makes the case: warm, powdery, with enough civet to keep things interesting. The kind of composition that earns its reputation.Topaze
An aldehydic chypre that smells like powdery florals wrapped in honey and animalic warmth. This is 1970s elegance distilled into a bottle. It is refined, perhaps austere, and demands attention.First
