The take

What works

  • ●The definitive luxury tuberose — indolic, coconutty, magnificently alive
  • ●Eucalyptus green note is a brilliant counterpoint to the white floral heart
  • ●Exceptional longevity for a white floral

Trade-offs

  • ●Intensely feminine — wrong for masculine wearers
  • ●Tuberose indole can be overwhelming in small spaces
