    Real talk

    The blueberry isn't hiding. In most fruity-florals it's background, but here it takes the stage, bold, present, unapologetic. That kind of commitment either grabs you immediately or doesn't.Nica
    It smells like a time when fragrance was an event, not a background. Powdery, warm, aldehydes-forward, if you want quiet, look elsewhere. But if you want something that lingers and deepens.Ispahan
