    Real talk

    The vanilla here doesn't coddle. It's vetiver's dry backbone keeping everything honest. If you want sweet, go elsewhere. If you want a fragrance that smells like a man who knows exactly who he is.Strictly Private
    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
