    Real talk

    Lavender is having a moment, but most fragrances lean masculine with it. Dispelled takes a different path, herbal tea keeps it contemplative, vanilla in the drydown keeps it warm. Not loud.Dispelled
    This is not the Kerosene you might expect. It trades stamped steel for honeyed sweetness without losing its edge. Black tea keeps it honest.Unknown Pleasures
