Real talk
Honey-forward fragrances walk a fine line between lush and cloying. Botrytis stays on the right side by letting grape and quince provide a vinous backbone, the sweetness knows it has somewhere to go.Botrytis
Here is the thing about anise in fragrance, people either lean in or lean out. Contessa does not negotiate. That sharp, slightly medicinal opening gives way to ylang-ylang and jasmine so smoothly.Contessa
