    Real talk

    Powdery rose that doesn't retreat. Six florals in the heart means this stays floral longer than you'd expect, the kind of 1980s statement that announces before you've finished buttoning your collar.V.O. Version Originale
    This fragrance has opinions. The 1982 lavender-mint opening either speaks to you or it doesn't, and for those it speaks to, nothing else fills the same space.Drakkar Noir
