What do reviewers say about Core and Vienna Opera?
Designer fragrances don't always earn their keep. Core by Gap does something harder: it makes you smell like yourself, not like a billboard. Fresh, warm, worn-in.Core
Fresh enough for spring, woody enough to still be interesting after dark. The basil is the thing, sweet, spicy, and impossible to ignore. Either it becomes your signature or it doesn't.Vienna Opera
