    Real talk

    This is the powdery floral you'll either love or find too familiar. Heliotrope makes it soft, almost vintage, but the black pepper keeps it from drifting into nostalgic territory.Instincts
    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
