Real talk
This is unapologetically floral. The opening bursts with green-citrus energy before tuberose and jasmine take over. Clove and nutmeg add unexpected warmth.5th Avenue
Anise in perfume either intrigues you or makes you flinch, there's no middle ground. Dark Sapphire respects that divide and earns both sides: it opens sharp enough to be interesting.Dark Sapphire
