What do reviewers say about Années Folles and Esquel?
Lavender fans seeking it as an accent will want to look elsewhere. This is a lavender fragrance that puts the note front and center from opening to drydown.Années Folles
This shouldn't work. Lavender, oriental warmth, and a fougère structure in one bottle, it straddles categories and gets away with it. Sweet enough to flirt. Herbal enough to mean it.Esquel
