    Real talk

    This is the version of Pure Poison that fans were waiting for. The original's cool, crystalline white florals get a warm, powdery makeover, richer, softer, and with a gourmand edge that lingers.Pure Poison Elixir
    Capeline is a daytime floral with a spicy kick that refuses to be boring. The vanilla in the drydown is present but restrained, giving warmth without sweetness overload.Capeline
