    Real talk

    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
    The tomato leaf is what nobody sees coming. Most people have never smelled it in a perfume, and that's exactly the point. If you want something nobody at the party is wearing, this is where to start.Cocktail de Minuit
