Real talk
This is the fragrance that makes people lean in. Lavender isn't usually a conversation starter, but here it arrives with coffee and licorice, armchair philosophy, not small talk.Eau Noire
Jean-Claude Ellena made lavender interesting again. The licorice doesn't sweeten it, it darkens it, like the anise that hides in both plants. This isn't a crowd-pleaser.Hermessence Brin de Reglisse
