“Complicated feelings bottled in violet and rhubarb.”
The take
What works
- ●Rhubarb-iris opener is tart and unexpected — not another clean musk

- ●Year-round versatility with a modern edge
Trade-offs
- ●Byredo tax is real — comparable quality available at lower prices
- ●Subdued projection may disappoint those seeking presence
