    Real talk

    Some fragrances announce themselves. This one doesn't need to. The cold spiciness hits first, bergamot and lemon that bite without apologizing, then softens into something people stop to ask about.Earl Grey
    French lemon that leans sweet, not sharp. If you've been burned by colognes that slap, this one won't. The tea doesn't arrive green, it settles in quiet, almost Ozonic, like steam off a warm cup.Assam of India
