What do reviewers say about Syren and Tears?
Some jasmine fragrances shout. This one sings. The lilac and salt in Syren keep the jasmine from going full tropical, it stays cool, almost powdery, even as it blooms.Syren
This is not a crowd-pleaser. The Lilac heart skews vintage, almost nostalgic, while the Cognac opening reads more bourbon than bergamot. Worth sampling before committing, especially if you want.Tears
