The take

What works

  • Lavender-coconut-praline cloud accord is utterly addictive and widely beloved

  • Compliment magnet that somehow never gets old

Trade-offs

  • Gourmand-sweet DNA isn't for everyone — polarizes the vanilla-averse
  • Celebrity fragrance stigma undersells its genuine quality
