    Real talk

    A garment perfume that smells like history interrupted. The birch tar and castoreum are not background notes, they are the point. If you've ever wanted to smell like a 1920s Moscow leather workshop.Cuir de Russie
    The civet and oakmoss make this a fragrance that wears you as much as you wear it. It's not subtle, it's a statement made at full volume in a library.Diaghilev
