    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who finds most aquatics too one-note. The mate adds a slight bitterness that stops the water from going flat. It's still calm. Still soft. But it has a spine.Nymphéas
    This is not a crowd-pleaser. The Lilac heart skews vintage, almost nostalgic, while the Cognac opening reads more bourbon than bergamot. Worth sampling before committing, especially if you want.Tears
