    Real talk

    Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
    Leather and marshmallow shouldn't work together. They do here, and that's the whole point. Poesie committed to something strange and came back with a campfire memory worth keeping.Secret Boyfriend
