    Real talk

    The bitter green opening is confrontational, but that's the point. Absynthe doesn't apologize for its boldness or try to win you over with sweetness. It presents itself as an uncompromising scent.Christian Lacroix Absynthe
    Juniper and pepper opening? Most skip it. Those who stay find a rose that doesn't behave like a rose, lifted by something bitter, something alive. Sweet enough to wear, dry enough to mean it.C-Thru Coral Dream
