Top 5 spring perfumes for 2020
Envoutant (translates as enchanting) seems to be built after an art nouveau olfactive print, with an unexpected middle eastern influence.

Alexandria is a real baroque fragrant tale, with rapid movements between its layers, with a Fellinesque sense of realism and hyperbole embedded in its proportions, with lavish nuances and fluid life and presence on your skin.I think I need more of this in my life, ASAP.
Introspective but not of a stern, disciplined nature, Shunkoin is a ritualistic construction of fragile ivory filigree details, no sharp edges, no tension, no escalation.
