Lalique White in Black

What it is made of, at the heart of a wearing — and the colour this page is tinted with. Wider means more of it.

Leads citrus and bright spice, over vanilla and amber underneath. It turns over the day rather than fading. It carries more vanilla than the rest of the catalogue.

Consensus needs more than one owner. Right now no one has this linked, so there is nothing to agree or disagree about yet.

No original is recorded for this entry. Two kinds of evidence, and they disagree in useful ways.
Closest, as Akin sees it
Ranked by what the crowd says resembles what, with the measured accords breaking ties — falling back to the note pyramid where neither has anything to say. Right about half the time, and the column says which of the three answered.

Compared with

Each of these reads the two side by side, hour by hour: what they share, what only one of them carries, and what people who have smelled both say about it.
