    Real talk

    Here's the thing about this one: the praline-to-black-amber arc is what people either love or don't know how to place yet. Sweet without tipping into dessert. Warm without tipping into heavy.Kings & Queens Excellence
    This one divides. Some find the praline sweetness too much; others spray it every morning like their alarm. That citrus opening doesn't play it safe, it's the bridge to something richer.Black XS
