What do reviewers say about Folie Douce and Jaguar Essentially?
This is the powder puff that doesn't try too hard. Sweet, yes. Fruity from the blackcurrant. But the bay leaf and iris keep it interesting, a little green, a little dry.Folie Douce
Late-90s powdery florals with oriental warmth. Not trying to impress. Just quietly excellent, with above-average longevity and the kind of elegance that earns respect.Jaguar Essentially
