What do reviewers say about Nolita and Authentic Woman?

Nolita skews romantic and approachable rather than bold or challenging. The florals are prominent but never overwhelming, and the drydown stays close to the skin.Nolita

This is the fragrance you reach for when you don't want to think about it. It's got fruit, florals, and a warm woody base that plays nice with everything from jeans to a summer dress.Authentic Woman
