    Real talk

    This isn't a fragrance that asks permission. The whiskey note gives it an edge, boozy, confident, slightly unconventional. Some will find that divisive. Most won't care what those people think.Ambre
    Here's the thing about Frivole: it's cheerful without being naive. The citrus top doesn't apologize for being bright, and the white florals that follow have just enough body to keep it interesting.Frivole
