    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
    The cypress doesn't wait for permission. It arrives first and stays loudest. Some will find that bracing. Others will find it the whole point, everything after just softens the conifer edge.Bois Sauvage
