Real talk
Cape Heartache is not a safe blind buy. While strawberry-vanilla sounds gourmand, pine and hemlock are the true backbone. It's not a sweet, juicy fruit.Cape Heartache
The tropical angle is where Sundress separates itself from standard summer fare. Passion fruit, mango, ylang-ylang, it walks right up to the edge of exotic sweetness and then the sandalwood pulls it.Sundress
