    Real talk

    Scusami leans powdery and sweet rather than dark or austere. The plum and heliotrope opening is distinctive but brief; once the blackcurrant and sugar-dusted florals settle, the scent reads as soft.Scusami
    Arethusa earns its marine classification with a salt-and-sand base that stays put for hours. The fragrance opens with fruit brightness before settling into its true character.Arethusa
