    Real talk

    This is a big fragrance. Not polite, not subtle, not for those who want to smell like they apologized for existing. Ubar announces itself and means it.Ubar
    Powdery florals that actually commit to powder. No half-measures, no apology. If jasmine absolute on your skin sounds like your grandmother's vanity, this will change your mind.Puredistance No. 12
