    Real talk

    A Patou fragrance that's been called simple. But that simplicity is the point, lilac, green, and musk arranged with nowhere to hide. Every note breathes. No embellishment. No volume.Vacances
    This is the green floral that Guerlain built its reputation on. Dense hyacinth, blackcurrant oil, galbanum, it smells like a perfumer who decided to make a point.Chamade
