What do reviewers say about C'est La Vie and Angel?
Some will catch the aldehydes and think vintage cosmetics. Others will wait and find something luminous instead. The carnation keeps the florals honest, warm and spicy rather than delicate.C'est La Vie
Angel doesn't whisper. It announces itself, owns the space, and lingers for hours, the kind of fragrance that makes a statement without saying a word.Angel
