    Real talk

    In 1994, Dior's Pierre Bourdon built this for someone who wants warmth without sacrificing elegance. The fruit-spice combo is distinctive, not safe. Sweet enough to make you smell good.Dolce Vita
    Umé is not a crowd-pleaser in the traditional sense. This is a confident, austere scent whose mineral-amber base settles into a quiet, personal warmth.Umé
