    Real talk

    The aldehydes will divide you. Some call it soapy. But that bright, lifted quality is what gives this composition its distinctive character, and it's not for everyone.Polar Lights
    The opening is bold espresso, aromatic, bitter, slightly acidic, that doesn't try to hide behind the sweetness. Brown sugar and roasted almond arrive to soften it.8 Café Josephine
