What do reviewers say about Halle and Ode à l'amour?
Most celebrity fragrances play safe. Halle doesn't. The mimosa-hibiscus heart is creamy in a way that borders on lush, and the frankincense in the base gives it a quiet edge, not quite incense.Halle
Choosing Ode à l'amour means wrapping yourself in sweet mirabelle plum, bright blackcurrant, and warm romantic ylang-ylang. It's the 2001 French edit of what love smells like.Ode à l'amour
