    What do reviewers say about Only and Pour Femme?

    Some will smell the 1989 in it. Others will smell warmth, powder, and a tropical sweetness that doesn't apologize for itself. The civet keeps it close. The oakmoss keeps it classic.Only
    Tuberose doesn't whisper. It's thick, almost animalic, with jasmine amplifying the heat. But the sandalwood-musk drydown is where it wins, intimate and lasting for 4-6 hours. Bold florals, yes.Pour Femme
