    Discontinued. Rare. A masculine floral that doesn't apologize for being one. The aldehydes are the point of entry, you either lean in or you don't. For those who do.Insense
    Vodka as a top note is the tell. It gives this the clarity of a cocktail, cold, sharp, a little bit dangerous, before the berries arrive. If you want something sweet and soft, this isn't it.In Love Again
