    Love Affair opens with clean white florals and tart blackcurrant, quickly joined by pink pepper's soft warmth and a hint of tea. Jasmine and rose settle into the heart.Love Affair
    Iris does one thing and it commits. No fruity detours, no gourmand warmth to soften the powder, just the clean, slightly rooty floral that smells like a memory you didn't know you had.Velvet Orchid
