Real talk
Sweet enough to signal presence, green enough to keep it interesting. The basil-smells-like-basil opening is the tell: this isn't playing it safe. It's a fragrance that announces itself without.Colors
This is unapologetically floral. The opening bursts with green-citrus energy before tuberose and jasmine take over. Clove and nutmeg add unexpected warmth.5th Avenue
