The take

What works

●Iris-leather-praline accord is the smell of an upscale lipstick counter
●Elegant in a way that doesn't beg for attention
●Wearable across decades — no one calls this an 'old lady' scent

Trade-offs

●Reformulated batches gutted the leather — vintage hunters know
●The sweetness can read powdery in heat
