Real talk
This cologne concentration means Tabu wears closer to the skin than its later EDT counterparts, but it never apologizes for its intentions. The civet and clove remain defiantly present.Tabu
The castoreum and leather drydown polarizes like nothing else in this era, you either find it fascinating or too much. What it gives the wearer who chooses it is honest, confrontational beauty.Bat-Sheba
