    Ylang-ylang can tip into sunscreen territory on the wrong skin, but here, the cranberry keeps it honest. Sharp enough to flirt, warm enough to stay. It's the Dior signature lifted into something.Happy Hour
    The absinthe is what makes this interesting. Green and almost gin-like at the opening, softened but never tamed by plum and vanilla. That cool-to-warm arc is where this earns its keep.Baiser de Russie
