    Real talk

    Fifty-plus years of sweet tooth and it still hasn't learned to apologise for it. The patchouli keeps it from becoming a sugar rush, grounds everything into something you'd call "rich" instead of.Ponant
    The jasmine here is unapologetic. Not aggressive, just present. It doesn't ask permission. Some people find that overwhelming. Those people haven't yet felt how the vanilla underneath makes it feel.Alien Essence Absolue
