    Real talk

    Calandre's aldehydic lift is the point, not a side effect. Bergamot keeps it from going static on wool, bright enough for someone who thinks No.5 is too much. The rose heart is what earns the vote.Calandre
    A true aldehydic chypre that does not apologize for its age. The coriander note is subtle rather than dominant, lending intrigue rather than boldness.Coriandre
