    Real talk

    There is no opening here, only a heart that begins immediately. Some will find this disorienting; others will appreciate that it skips the fanfare. The gin and tarragon give it an herbal, slightly.Butterfly Tamer
    This is not a crowd-pleaser. The Lilac heart skews vintage, almost nostalgic, while the Cognac opening reads more bourbon than bergamot. Worth sampling before committing, especially if you want.Tears
