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
The kind of sweet that doesn't announce itself, it just settles in and stays. Fruity-vanilla comfort with enough warmth to mean something, enough softness to wear every day.Marina De Bourbon
