    Real talk

    The tonka bean in this composition reads as roasted coffee-ground bitterness rather than powdery dessert sweetness. It skews masculine in the best way.Grey Ash
    Some will say the smoky-leathery heart is too much. Others will say that's exactly the point, this is a fragrance for someone who wants to commit. Bold, resinous.Alchemie
