    Real talk

    Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
    A sauna doesn't ask permission. Neither does this. The hinoki and eucalyptus open like a door kicked open in a heat wave, bracing, immediate, slightly confrontational.Summer Sauna
