What do reviewers say about Red Shoes and Lilas Exquis?
The aldehydes are the divide. Some people want that vintage shimmer, the old-movie glamour of it. Others find it sharp at first. But give it an hour, the berries soften, the rose opens.Red Shoes
The opening is a trick. Bergamot and blueberry look simple on paper. But the lilac doesn't come to play, it comes to take over. People who wear this twice notice the base first.Lilas Exquis
