    Real talk

    Galbanum doesn't play nice. It arrives sharp, almost aggressive, and you'll either love it immediately or need a moment. The marine notes arrive anyway, settling the green into something coastal.Cape Wrath
    This isn't a fragrance that tries to charm you. The opening is almost clinical, bright, mineral, austere in a way that polarizes. But that's the point. Some people want to smell like a memory.Jöklalykt
