Real talk
This one has teeth. Not everyone wants a fragrance that starts with galbanum and ends with castoreum, but the people who do, wear it like a second skin. Moderate sillage means it stays close.Le Smoking
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
