The take

What works

  • May-rose-lavender pairing is unexpectedly lovely and faintly unisex
  • Warm vanilla-cashmeran base adds evening depth without going heavy
  • More interesting than the Romance original without abandoning its essence

Trade-offs

  • Lavender in a women's fragrance still surprises some wearers
  • Doesn't push far enough to satisfy niche seekers
