What do reviewers say about A La Francaise and Lucia Bright Aura?
A chypre for people who've moved past safe florals. Oakmoss, patchouli, and the kind of green that doesn't apologize for itself. The blackcurrant keeps it from feeling like a museum piece.A La Francaise
Sweet enough to charm, bright enough to mean it. The citrus doesn't scream, it catches the light. Florals keep it feminine without tipping into cloying.Lucia Bright Aura
