Our verdict on Fragile: Acquired

This isn't 'Fragile' at all. It's a bold, spicy tuberose with serious vintage glamour, best worn when you want to make a statement. Prepare for compliments; just don't expect a delicate flower.

About

Fragile opens with a vibrant burst of star anise and ginger, quickly giving way to a rich, opulent white floral heart dominated by indolic tuberose and creamy ylang-ylang, softened by a touch of rose and iris. The dry down settles into a warm, inviting embrace of amber, vanilla, and cinnamon, with a hint of musk that adds depth and allure.
