    Real talk

    Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
    This one doesn't ask permission. The geosmin and thistle open like a dare, bitter, green, swampy, and not everyone survives the first minute. But if you've ever wanted to smell like a highlands lake.Blackwater Thistle
