    Real talk

    Cumin is either your favorite note or your least favorite, there's no middle ground, and Sogno Notturno doesn't pretend otherwise. What it does instead is brilliant.Sogno Notturno
    This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
