    Real talk

    It smells like something you'd step over your entire fragrance life. Until the day you don't. The concept hooks you, but the scent itself is what keeps you coming back, earth, moss.Dirt
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
