    Real talk

    Some fragrances apologize for being sweet. Loren doesn't. The leather isn't a warning, it's the payoff. This is for people who want cotton candy that bites back.Loren
    This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
