    Real talk

    Purpose is not a safe blind buy. It demands attention, particularly in the opening where frankincense and allspice create an almost medicinal intensity.Purpose
    This is an unapologetically bold extrait. The rum and frankincense open with conviction, and the drydown is a study in warm resin and cocoa. Not for those who prefer subtlety.Incense 01
