What do reviewers say about Dolce Vita and Courtesan?
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
There's a lot happening in here. Six top notes, four heart notes, nine base notes. But Courtesan doesn't throw everything at you at once. It unfolds in waves, spice first, then florals.Courtesan
