Real talk
Some fragrances hint at complexity. This one throws it at you, sweet florals, warm leather, animalic undercurrent, and dares you to keep up. Built for the wearer who knows exactly what she wants.Rumba
Leather and rum come together with real skill in this composition. The leather reads smooth, the rum adds genuine warmth, and the tonka bean keeps everything from getting too heavy.John Varvatos XX Elixir
