The take

What works

  • ●Aldehyde-iris architecture is classic haute couture — rare at this price
  • ●Vanilla-tonka bean-vanilla drydown is sophisticated and lingering
  • ●Timeless in a way most contemporary designers aren't built to be

Trade-offs

  • ●Aldehydic opening is acquired taste — alienates some noses immediately
  • ●Vintage-leaning profile reads old-fashioned to younger audiences
