    Real talk

    It's aldehydic. If that word makes you nervous, understand: these aldehydes are measured, not overwhelming. They serve a purpose: they lift the citrus and white florals.Tosca
    If you want instant compliments, look elsewhere. Dune rewards patience and draws you in slowly. The aldehydes might seem dated at first spray but evolve beautifully.Dune
