    Real talk

    Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
    Francis Black wraps around you like a late-night conversation, soft coffee blossom, warm vanilla, cedar staying close. Intimate and quietly magnetic. For those who want to be noticed by someone.FRANCIS BLACK
