Aldehydic, second accord at 82, is what settles the purchase: it gives the bouquet a retro turn that floral at 90 alone would never suggest. Nine for wear against eight for throw — a single spray covers a whole evening, and the second one is already too much indoors. Seven materials in the base, tobacco among them at 50, keep the whole thing from being merely a pretty bouquet. No daytime use on its sheet, and nothing before autumn. Plainly feminine at 25.
