    Real talk

    This is maltol. Just maltol. And that means something: either you want to smell like the inside of a candy factory at 3 AM, or you don't. There is no middle ground.Crystallised Sugar
    This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
