What do reviewers say about French Lime Blossom and Something Blue?
Some call it soapy. Some call it spring in a bottle. The linden blossom and beeswax create a close-to-skin warmth that projects softly but lingers longer than expected for a cologne.French Lime Blossom
Soft white florals walk a fine line between fresh and boring. Something Blue dodges it, the Stephanotis is the tell. Not gardenia, not jasmine. A real flower from Oscar de la Renta's actual garden in.Something Blue
