    Real talk

    It's not shy. The ylang-ylang leans tropical, the vanilla doesn't apologize, and that synthetic-fresh opening means business. Some will call it too much.Gold Sunset
    Not a quiet fragrance. The nag champa and tolu balsam sit close, work the room. If you've ever caught a whiff of something on someone and thought 'what is that', that's the energy. Strong, yes.Empire des Indes
