    Real talk

    The frankincense here isn't churchy, it's the smoke that curls up from warm caramel. If you've been burned by overly sweet gourmands, this one tightens the reins.Elite VIP
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
