Real talk
L'Original is that rare beast: a fragrance that smells expensive without announcing it. The mint and mandarin orange opening is immediate and clean, but the oakmoss drydown is where this scent earns.L'Original
This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
