    Real talk

    This one won awards. Not niche ones, the real ones, in 2005. What that tells you: it's well-made and has staying power. Safe? Sure. But safe done right is harder than it looks.In Bloom
    Sweet but not naive. The chocolate in the heart keeps the vanilla from becoming a sugar rush, and the tropical guava gives it an edge that stops 'cute' from becoming 'cloying.'Princess
