This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
This one sneaks up on you. Not loud, not dramatic, just a cool floral that lingers like something you're trying to remember. For the woman who doesn't need the room to know she's arrived.Elle 25
