What do reviewers say about Envy and Velvet Pure?
Envy earned its name by being just opinionated enough to spark reactions. It is not subtle, but subtlety was never the brief. The pineapple and magnolia opening is its sharpest move.Envy
Most florals want to be liked. This one doesn't, reseda isn't a safe choice, and that refusal is exactly the point. A green-floral for people who already know what they want.Velvet Pure
