    Real talk

    Most blackcurrant fragrances sweeten into something safe. Cassis Frénésie doesn't. The buchu bridge keeps it sharp, the galbanum keeps it green, and somewhere in the drydown there's a rose that.Cassis Frénésie
    Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
