    Real talk

    Built for the hour after the last yes. The citrus opens polished, then the fig and violet leaf shift the register into something earthier, sweeter, and unexpectedly compelling.Vetiver Fatal
    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
