    Real talk

    This is a sophisticated, feminine scent that leans into contrast. The blackcurrant opening is assertive, but the silk and rose heart keeps it graceful.Soie Malaquais
    If you want a rose that is never heavy, 18 - 12 delivers. The vanilla and sandalwood drydown is a creamy warmth that feels more like a soft cashmere hug than a heavy blanket.18 - 12
