    Real talk

    Some fragrances want to be noticed. Lumiere isn't one of them, and that's precisely its appeal. The green tea and frankincense base gives it a quiet spirituality you won't find in mainstream florals.Lumiere
    Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
