    A powdery floral that doesn't hedge. The softness here is a choice, not a compromise, and it commits fully. If you've been looking for that iris-heliotrope combination done without apology.Violet Ida
    There's a specific honey note here, unfiltered, almost waxy, that you don't find in many fragrances. Add the cumin and this stops being polite. If you've been curious about resin-heavy night scents,.Absolue Pour le Soir
