    Real talk

    It doesn't whisper. It doesn't perform. Rice Paddy announces itself exactly as it is, green shoots, standing water, the calm of a paddy at rest. Under $40. That's the Demeter promise.Rice Paddy
    L'orpheline asks you to commit. It has no softening introduction, no grand finale. You wear the heart notes and that is all. If you want layers, look elsewhere. If you want honesty, this is it.L'orpheline
