What do reviewers say about Red Door and Escada Margaretha Ley?
The kind of fragrance that stops a conversation, on purpose. Bold enough to start one, distinctive enough that not everyone will love it. If you want to be remembered, this works.Red Door
Floral Orientals aren't supposed to be this confident. Most lean soft, powdery, polite. This one opens green and stays decided, hyacinth's snap followed by coconut warmth that doesn't flinch.Escada Margaretha Ley
