Real talk
The aldehydes hit first. Then gardenia. Not everyone wants their fragrance to announce itself from across the room, but for those who do, Tailspin delivers the way 1940s perfumery understood.Tailspin
Dense white florals over a mossy, animalic base, tuberose and gardenia that don't ask permission. Sultan Pasha built this for the collector who already has too many bottles and reaches for this one.Le Rayon Vert
