    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for people who want to smell expensive without announcing it. The opening is confrontational in the best way, dense elemi, patchouli that lingers like wet earth, a green-earth.Material
    The frankincense and oud in the base give Velvet Amber Sun real staying power. It's bold enough to turn heads, but the vanilla and amber keep it from being aggressive. Smell it before you commit.Velvet Amber Sun
