Our Verdict - Ciel d'Opale EDP
Ciel d'Opale is a beautifully balanced fragrance with a refined blend of floral and musky notes that feels both fresh and elegant, perfect for spring and fall.
Favourite
Our Verdict - Ciel d'Opale - No.2 EDP
No.2 leans on Ann Gerard's Ciel d'Opale - a green, quince-honeysuckle floral - for its citrus-into-powder shape, but the dupe's transitions feel less delicate and the whole thing fades to a plain sandalwood-amber base far sooner than the original's soft, lingering finish.
