    Real talk

    Asteria doesn't announce itself. The plum-juniper opening is crisp, almost cold, before the peony-rose heart turns warm and intimate. The kind of fragrance that earns a second look.Asteria
    Affordable and surprisingly well-blended, Dark Emerald does not pretend to be anything other than a pleasant fruity-floral with a sweet drydown. The pear-almond opening is playful, but it morphs.Dark Emerald
