What do reviewers say about Mackie and White Shoulders?
Strong sillage that announces you before you enter a room. Some find that theatrical. That's the point. This is for someone who wants to be noticed, not someone who's still deciding if they want to.Mackie
It's aldehydic. It's powdery. It's unapologetically mid-century. If that sounds dated, it shouldn't, dated implies it went away. White Shoulders never did.White Shoulders
