What do reviewers say about Le Parfum Ideal and Sérail?
A composition from 1896 doesn't play by modern rules. Le Parfum Ideal layers Bulgarian rose over warm spice and a benzoin-sandalwood base that has real presence.Le Parfum Ideal
Sérail is not trying to shout. Neroli gives it an initial spark, but the rose-tonka heart and musky drydown make this a skin-proximity fragrance. Wear it for yourself, not for the room.Sérail
