What do reviewers say about Love and Tears and Charlie Blue?
Love and Tears sounds like a romantic floral until you smell it. The opening is sharp, almost medicine-cabinet green, courtesy of galbanum and petitgrain.Love and Tears
The 1973 formula doesn't ask permission. That oakmoss presence hits different, bold, earthy, and built for someone who knows exactly what she wants. Yes, it's assertive. That's the point.Charlie Blue
