    Real talk

    This is not a safe blind buy. Purpose 50 announces itself with medicinal smoke that some will find polarizing. It settles into a rich, smoky amber skin scent.Purpose 50
    Not another beach frag. The seaweed and oakmoss give this real depth and a slightly rugged edge. Cedarwood in the drydown keeps it sophisticated enough for evening without going full formal.Le Sel d'Issey (Eau de Parfum)
