Real talk
Talisman is discontinued, which tells you something. A 1994 Balenciaga that still has people hunting for it decades later. The aldehydes give it that vintage edge.Talisman
Sweet enough to draw people in, complex enough to split opinion. That's not a flaw, that's the point. Poison wears like a dare, and the wearer who chooses it knows exactly what they're carrying.Poison
