    What do reviewers say about Chic et Bohème and Basic Instinct?

    Sweet florals with real depth. Jasmine's warmth, plum's wine-like edge, patchouli's earth. The kind of combination that makes someone lean in and ask what you're wearing.Chic et Bohème
    Most fragrances announce themselves loudly. This one stays close. The powder is the point here, it transforms the tuberose and plum into something that smells like skin but better.Basic Instinct
