    Real talk

    Citrus-forward enough to wear clean. Warm enough underneath to wear after sunset. The sillage is moderate, it stays close, rewards attention. Neither a statement fragrance nor a wallflower.Citron Noir
    Iris does powdery well. No hedging about it. The hyacinth keeps it from becoming a makeup compact, adds that cut-stem green underneath, a sharpness that prevents softness from curdling.Bas de Soie
