What do reviewers say about Bodacious and Duchessa?
Bodacious earns its name. That cherry-cognac opening hits like a confident entrance into a room, and the florals in the heart keep it interesting rather than letting it slide into sweetness.Bodacious
If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
