Real talk
This is the fragrance that makes people argue about rhubarb. It shouldn't work, tart vegetable in a citrus structure, but it does. Cedar keeps everything civilized while ambergris whispers rather.Bacara
This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
