    Real talk

    Ancient resins and ocean brine shouldn't work together. They do here, beautifully. The sea shell's mineral quality keeps the amber from becoming syrupy, giving this an unexpected lift.Onycha
    Lavs is not interested in being liked. It opens confrontational and stays spiritual. If you want something polite, look elsewhere. This is incense-draped drama for those who understand that fragrance.Lavs
