    Real talk

    The lokum opening in this fragrance is unapologetically sweet, the kind of scent that announces itself before you've even decided whether you like it.Exquisite
    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
