    Some compositions hedge. This one doesn't. The coconut-vanilla pairing could be obvious, except the orchid won't let it. Cool florals collide with warm cream until you're not sure which direction.Maïssa
    Bodacious earns its name. That cherry-cognac opening hits like a confident entrance into a room, and the florals in the heart keep it interesting rather than letting it slide into sweetness.Bodacious
