    What do reviewers say about Les Frivolites and Madison?

    Powdery rose and suede shouldn't work together, one feels like a grandmother's vanity, the other like a leather jacket. But Les Frivolités makes them neighbors, and somehow it works.Les Frivolites
    The leather doesn't play backup. It anchors everything, keeps the peony and jasmine from floating into forgettable territory. Brooks Brothers restraint meets something that finally decided to flirt.Madison
