    Real talk

    Some fragrances want to fill a room. The white florals are creamy, almost lactonic, neroli and gardenia over a skin-like musk base. It's a composition that asks to be discovered rather than announced.Beauté de Reine
    This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
