    Real talk

    Floral-fruity is everywhere. What sets this apart is the powdery turn, honeysuckle and lily of the valley that get intimate rather than loud. It's not a fragrance that fills a room.Secret
    This is unapologetically floral. The opening bursts with green-citrus energy before tuberose and jasmine take over. Clove and nutmeg add unexpected warmth.5th Avenue
