Real talk
Tuberose gets a bad reputation for being too much. Too sweet, too creamy, too much like sunscreen in a bottle. Minerva avoids that trap entirely, the orange blossom and mandarin keep it bright.Minerva
Bold but not aggressive. The lavender-orange blossom combination commands a room without screaming, strong projection that announces you arrived. Lasts through dinner, into the night, with a drydown.Libre
