Share what you noticed: opening, drydown, sillage and the moments when it works for you.
First, imagine her in a suit and heels on a crisp autumn evening—only her crimson lips betray her makeup. She moves with confidence in her element, enjoying a solo business dinner. In my opinion, the EDP is even better than the EDT; it’s my favorite because it lasts all day. It’s not a trendy scent, which makes it feel more exclusive. I wear it in fall and winter, especially at night. It has a baroque, Art Deco vibe: complex, distinguished, and very feminine. Magnificent, a solid 10. Cheers, everyone.
