    Real talk

    This one announces itself. Oud and leather aren't suggestions here, they're the point. The sweetness (brown sugar, tonka) keeps it from being a monologue, but make no mistake.Makalu
    The leather that doesn't announce itself. Powdery, soft, with an apricot sweetness that makes the animalic feel like skin, not a car seat. It sits close. You lean in to catch it.Daim Blond
