Real talk
At first it's just citrus, bright, a little jolt. Then the cocoa settles in, coffee follows, and there's this animal warmth that wraps around you like the last hour of sunlight.Sepia
Most florals play it safe. This one gets leathered up and leans in. The gardenia isn't polite, it's wrapped in something animal, something close. That's the whole point.Cuir Gardenia
