Real talk
This is a fragrance that asks you to commit. The opening honey feels gorgeous, but the castoreum-leather drydown is not for the faint of heart. If you want a gentle floral, look elsewhere.The Lover's Tale
The violet-leather pairing will split the room. Some will find the violet too insistent at first. But that's the whole point, iris softens what could be harsh, and the leather rewards those who stay.Arché
