    Real talk

    Licorice Woods isn't the licorice of your childhood. It's the kind that doesn't apologize for being itself, bitter, resinous, unapologetically dark. Built for people who choose their own shadows.Licorice Woods
    Amber Star is not a safe blind buy. The smoky guaiac wood and resinous myrrh in the heart are divisive, and the drydown, while gorgeous, requires patience.Amber Star
