    Real talk

    This is clarity that doesn't explain itself. Fresh, powdery, with a drydown that stays clean after you've left. Not everyone reaches for it, but those who do keep coming back.Nirvana
    This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
