What do reviewers say about Ostara and Fleur de Lys?
The beeswax is the tell. In a landscape of safe florals, Ostara goes somewhere different, warm, almost vintage, golden in a way that makes people stop and ask what they're wearing.Ostara
Green florals with star anise: the opening either hooks you or puzzles you for a moment. That's exactly the point. This is for someone who'd rather be remembered than recognized.Fleur de Lys
