Real talk
This fragrance has a split personality the name doesn't warn you about. The opening reads crisp, almost sharp, then eases into something softer and sweeter than expected.Optimistic for Her
Touch for Women feels like a product of its era, but not in a dated way. The dewy berry opening is genuinely charming, though the tuberose heart might overwhelm those who prefer restraint.Touch for Women
