Real talk
Some fragrances announce themselves. Initial whispers, then stays. That fruit-spice opening either hooks you or doesn't, but the honey-patchouli drydown? That's where this earns its reputation.Initial
This is the fragrance for someone who's done being subtle. The white florals don't ask permission, the vanilla doesn't apologize, and the sillage will absolutely start a conversation you didn't plan.Dior Addict
