    Real talk

    Sweet and powdery with a cherry-plum sweetness that reads almost edible. Some will find it comfortingly retro. Others will feel like they've stepped into a 1980s department store.La Femme
    Powdery without being fussy. Arrives with a compliment rather than an entrance. Won't announce itself across a room, but lingers long after you've gone.Ortensia
