What do reviewers say about Ume and Dolce Vita?
If you've ever thought Japanese floral meant quiet and fleeting, Ume will make you reconsider. The plum isn't a footnote, it's the protagonist. Wisteria and osmanthus give it softness.Ume
In 1994, Dior's Pierre Bourdon built this for someone who wants warmth without sacrificing elegance. The fruit-spice combo is distinctive, not safe. Sweet enough to make you smell good.Dolce Vita
