Some fragrances play it safe. Cupid's Bow doesn't. The chocolate-rose combo is honest about what it wants, and what it wants is you. Wear it when you mean it.Cupid's Bow
This is not your grandmother's Shalimar. L'Essence takes the classic in a more abstract direction with incense and almond leading the charge. The vanilla is still there but draped in smoke and iris.Shalimar L'Essence
