What do reviewers say about Classique and Duende?
The sillage is not subtle. People will smell you before they see you. That's not a warning, it's the point. Classique is for the woman who walks into a room and changes the air in it.Classique
This is the fragrance for someone who wants powdery florals but finds most of them too sweet. The linden blossom keeps it green, the caraway keeps it interesting. Not a statement. A second skin.Duende
