    Real talk

    Sweet enough to charm, grounded enough to stay. The patchouli keeps it from tipping into pure confection. Built for someone who wants the florals, but won't let them run the show.Avenue Montaigne
    The tuberose is the point. Not a polite white floral, the one that shows up uninvited and makes herself comfortable. Some find it too much. The rest of us find it just right.Aura
