    Real talk

    Applause does exactly what its name promises. The Blackcurrant and Melon opening is genuinely cheerful, the tropical heart keeps things interesting, and the woody drydown means it lasts.Applause
    Keig is not trying to impress anyone in the room. It is a quiet fragrance for someone who wants to smell clean and present without announcing it. The performance is moderate, which suits the mood.Keig
