What do reviewers say about Silences and Heure Exquise?
The galbanum opening is sharp, bright, almost bitter before the florals arrive to soften it. This is a green chypre for someone who doesn't need everyone to like it.Silences
The iris-to-rose transition is what makes this worth the boutique trip. Not everyone will love the soapy quality that arrives first, it's vintage, a little powder-dusted.Heure Exquise
