    Real talk

    This is smoke for people who aren't sure they like smoke. The burning wood gives it authenticity, the tonka bean and vanilla give it warmth. What makes it work? It doesn't try to be anything else.Smoke & Mirrors
    Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
