    Real talk

    Not a cozy vanilla fragrance. The opening is strange and almost industrial before softening into something genuinely tender.Warm Bulb
    The mildew and chlorine combo is the whole point, that moment on a dark ride when you realize you're actually wet, actually cold, actually somewhere else entirely. That's the appeal.Dark Ride
