    Real talk

    The aldehydic top is sharp, almost medicinal at first, but give it two minutes and the peach emerges alongside a green artemisia note that feels distinctly 1970s.Empreinte
    This isn't a soft floral. The aldehydes here don't screech, they're polished, structured. The basil keeps it grounded. The civet is honest without being skanky.Choc de Cardin
