What do reviewers say about Serenade and Spirit?
Aldehydes divide people. The champagne-like lift is either the most elegant thing you've smelled or too vintage for your taste. Serenade commits to that opening, the floral heart softens it.Serenade
Tuberose can be a lot. Here it's lush but tempered by green bitterness at the start and oakmoss at the end, giving it structure rather than just sweetness. That's the move.Spirit
