What do reviewers say about Chanel N°22 and Sweet Honesty?
N°22 doesn't do subtlety for the first hour. Aldehydes crackle, florals lean heavy, and there's an austere mineral coolness underneath that some find regal and others find challenging.Chanel N°22
It's called Sweet Honesty, and it means it. No hidden agendas, no waiting for the drydown to reveal something clever. The honey-vanilla-musky warmth is right there from the start.Sweet Honesty
