Real talk
This is the fragrance that people stop you for. Harry Fremont built it around Madagascan vanilla and caramel, then kept the sillage intimate on purpose, it stays close, almost conspiratorial.Secret Genius
This is the scent you wear when you want to smell approachable yet put-tog ether. It's sweet without being immature, floral without being stuffy, and the patchouli in the drydown gives it just enough.La Vie Est Belle
