    Real talk

    Some fragrances want to be noticed. Bass wants to be felt. The castoreum isn't a gimmick, it's what makes this smell like skin, not perfume. Wear it somewhere you won't apologize for existing.Bass
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
