Real talk
There's a cumin note that hits different here. Not the sharp shock of spices in a mainstream release, something earthier, almost savory. It makes the rose behave.A Rose is a Rose
The ozonic freshness that opens this doesn't hint at where it ends. An hour in, tobacco and fir move in, and the person who projected a breezy citrus gets a quiet conversation instead.By Serpentine
