What do reviewers say about Classique and Mystery & Excellence?
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 that smells like someone who has excellent taste and no interest in explaining it. The anise-violet-anis accord is polarizing in the best way.Mystery & Excellence
