    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
    There's a lot happening in here. Six top notes, four heart notes, nine base notes. But Courtesan doesn't throw everything at you at once. It unfolds in waves, spice first, then florals.Courtesan
