    Real talk

    The candied ginger opening either wins you over immediately or doesn't, but the frankincense and leather drydown is where this fragrance earns its name. Sweet enough to flirt. Warm enough to mean it.Sublime
    This is incense without the church. No candles, no ceremony. Just the material itself, stripped of context and draped across skin. The drydown stays close, intimate.Oliban
