What do reviewers say about Geste and 1826?

If you've been burned by sweet florals that turn headache-inducing by noon, this is the reset. The powdery violet reads like high-end laundry detergent at first.Geste

The powdery violet heart is where opinions split, some find it nostalgic, others find it elegant. Either way, it's what makes this amber worth wearing twice.1826
