    Real talk

    The tobacco here isn't for show. It's the real thing, cured, sweet, honest. Combined with that licorice heart, it makes for a scent that rewards patience. Not a flash fragrance.Contre Pouvoir
    This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
