Real talk
This isn't a fragrance that fills a room. It's the one you reach for when you want to smell like yourself, but better. Dual works best in close quarters, offices, coffee dates.Dual
This is the fragrance for someone who wants tobacco without the whisky bar. The vanilla keeps it sweet, the lapsang souchong keeps it unexpected, and the cedar keeps it honest. Not a safe choice.Pleasure Portrait
