Real talk
If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
The rhubarb opening isn't a trick, it's a promise. The white flowers that follow make sure you remember it. Fruity-floral, yes, but with a green bite that keeps it from sliding into sweet.La Surprise
