💬 Community Insights
Fragrance enthusiasts have shared varied impressions of Coriandre 39:
“The opening was very much like Aesop Reverence… now that it’s settled, it’s a lovely, warm coriander. There’s also a dry musk that puts the frag on the verge of being a savoury gourmand.”

“Although it’s pleasant and nice to smell, it is a little redundant and boring compared to others in the collection… just pure lime, and aldehydic musks.”
