What do reviewers say about Karleidoscope and Lovely?
Powdery florals have a reputation for being polite. Karleidoscope plays it straight, but the tonka-benzoin base gives it a warmth that pulls you back in.Karleidoscope
Lovely opens bright and approachable, but the real story is the intimate drydown. Narcissu and Patchouli create a skin-close floral that feels personal rather than performative.Lovely
