What do reviewers say about Parisienne L'Essentiel and La Petite Robe Noire?
The vinyl note divides people, some find it jarring, others find it brilliant. But that's exactly the point. Parisienne L'Essentiel isn't trying to please everyone.Parisienne L'Essentiel
The cherry-almond opening is unapologetically sweet, but the rose-tea heart keeps it from tipping into childish. It's the little black dress of perfumes, simple concept, endless occasions.La Petite Robe Noire
