    If you want an edible, sweet-as-pastry fragrance that avoids feeling juvenile, Italica delivers. The creamy sandalwood base keeps the sweetness from becoming one-dimensional.Italica (2021)
    Built for the hours you want to stay in. Not the ones you need to leave. The smoke leans Intimate, warm, woody, close. It doesn't fill the room. It earns it.By the Fireplace
