What do reviewers say about L'heure Bleue and Oscar?
The aniseed opening catches some off guard, it's sharp, almost medicinal, like black licorice before the florals arrive. But that's exactly the point.L'heure Bleue
If you love vintage fragrances, Oscar will feel like finding a dress in your grandmother's closet that fits perfectly. It's a classic floral with an herbal backbone.Oscar
