    Real talk

    This is a proper 1990s powerhouse. The galbanum opening might surprise those expecting typical florals, but the heart delivers generous white florals that justify its cult status.Jil Sander No. 4
    This is the Italian chypre that holds its own against any modern niche fragrance. The aldehydic lift transforms what could be a standard floral into something powdery and complex. Bold? No.Donna Trussardi
