    Real talk

    The animalics here aren't a footnote. They're the argument. If you've been curious about the civet-and-hyraceum side of perfumery, the part that makes skin smell like skin, only more.Mayura
    Amber Star is not a safe blind buy. The smoky guaiac wood and resinous myrrh in the heart are divisive, and the drydown, while gorgeous, requires patience.Amber Star
