Real talk
Rare Emeralds doesn't announce itself. The green geranium hits first, almost astringent, creating a crisp opening. Jasmine brings warmth and white rose adds softness as the fragrance develops.Rare Emeralds
This cologne concentration means Tabu wears closer to the skin than its later EDT counterparts, but it never apologizes for its intentions. The civet and clove remain defiantly present.Tabu
