What do reviewers say about Fleur du Mal and Byzance?
If you love osmanthus but find it often disappears too quickly, this one holds onto it. The real show is the rich, suede-like floralcy of osmanthus and jasmine.Fleur du Mal
This is the warm, powdery floral you reach for when you want to smell like you got dressed for yourself. Not trying to fill a room. Not performing. Just... there, in that amber light, wearing well.Byzance
