    Real talk

    It's sweet. It's fruity. It's got tuberose. But there's something underneath, a musky pulse, a smoky wisp, that keeps this from being just another pretty thing. Wearers either get it or they don't.Kat Von D Poetica
    Stella doesn't try to be interesting. It tries to be liked, and it mostly succeeds. The mandarin orange opens bright and confident, the florals arrive and soften the citrus, and the warm amber base.Stella
