    Real talk

    This is what happens when a fragrance commits fully to its base. The leather and ambergris don't flirt, they arrive and stay. Mandarin gives you three minutes of courtesy before the real work begins.Ambergris
    The suntan lotion note is the point, not a flaw. This isn't trying to smell like a real beach, it's the idea of summer, the feeling of it, distilled. Mango sweetness, sun-warmed skin.By Virtue of Sunbeams
