    Real talk

    The cumin in the opening will make people turn their heads. That's not an accident, it's the experiment. If your rose is meant to smell clean and polite, you haven't met this one.Experimentum Crucis
    French Affair does not whisper. It settles into a cool, earthy base of smoky vetiver and moss that stays close, a confident and persistent skin scent.French Affair
