What do reviewers say about Ithaque and You're So Vain?
Some fragrances wait to be noticed. This one doesn't. The opening is a full-volume citrus-spice statement, almost confrontational in its energy, before something quieter and more interesting takes.Ithaque
The blackcurrant sits front and center, dark, almost wine-like, polarizing in the best way. It's fruity, but with mossy depth that keeps it from being sweet.You're So Vain
