    Real talk

    It's the lavender-woody fougère people keep asking about, and it gets there without trying too hard. Powdery undertones and an almond-cream warmth hide in the base.Onda
    The oud arrives late but never polite. That lavender-and-apple opening either intrigues you or makes you flinch, and the fact that it does either is exactly the point.Alexandria II
