Real talk
Some fragrances want to be liked. Couture wants to be remembered. The aldehydes give it a slightly vintage edge, not retro, but assured. A bit formal. If that sounds like a compliment, it is.Couture
Calandre's aldehydic lift is the point, not a side effect. Bergamot keeps it from going static on wool, bright enough for someone who thinks No.5 is too much. The rose heart is what earns the vote.Calandre
