    Real talk

    Moderate sillage means it stays close, intimate. No room-filling projection here. For some that reads as disappointment. For others, it's permission to wear something that doesn't announce itself.1853 Lady
    This fragrance is not subtle. It announces itself in the opening and transforms dramatically by the drydown. The incense and myrrh create something reverent, almost meditative.Messe de Minuit
