What do reviewers say about Courtesan and Boudoir?
There's a lot happening in here. Six top notes, four heart notes, nine base notes. But Courtesan doesn't throw everything at you at once. It unfolds in waves, spice first, then florals.Courtesan
Boudoir is essentially a time capsule from the late 1990s, when maximalist florals with aldehydic structure were still very much in fashion. The tobacco flower in the base gives it an unexpected edge.Boudoir
