    Real talk

    The carnation here isn't a polite nod, it's the whole room noticing. Sweet enough to wear to an event, dry enough to return to work the next day and have someone stop you in the hall.Intriga No2
    The jasmine here is unapologetic. Not aggressive, just present. It doesn't ask permission. Some people find that overwhelming. Those people haven't yet felt how the vanilla underneath makes it feel.Alien Essence Absolue
