    Real talk

    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
    Powdery vanilla that plays it safe, except for the anise. That licorice-pepper note sneaks into the drydown and winks. Sweet enough to flirt, warm enough to mean it.Secondscent
