    Real talk

    Desnuda is the fragrance equivalent of cashmere on bare skin. The composition opens with crisp citrus brightness before settling into warmer, more intimate territory as the florals develop.Desnuda
    Tuberose can go one of two ways, heady and indolic, or restrained and luminous. In Elegance, it lands somewhere unexpected: smooth and powdery, wrapped in musk and sandalwood.Elegance
