Real talk
Fig fragrance, but not the headshop kind. The osmanthus gives it that apricot-skin edge that splits opinion, some find it soapy, others find it luminous.Ortiughia
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
