Real talk
The dried plum here is the tell. Dark, jammy, it brings a quality rarely found in traditional French florals. This gives the fragrance a character that rewards attention.Belle de Nuit
The thing about Always 2018 is that it knows how to be pretty without trying too hard. No sharp edges. No aggression. Just a soft, confident floral that wears like a second skin and asks nothing of.Always 2018
