    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
    The clove here isn't a polite seasoning, it bites. Combined with frankincense that reads more resinous smoke than church, Noir sits in territory that could veer costume if it weren't held so firmly.Noir
