    Real talk

    No pretension here, just solid, wearable craft. The blackcurrant keeps things lively without veering into candy territory, and the woody drydown prevents any risk of being too light.Saga
    The mint tea opening either intrigues you or makes you check if it's perfume at all. Once it settles, the real Monte Carlo emerges, blueberry and rose over amber and vanilla.Monte Carlo
