    Real talk

    Rose and oud is a confident combination that commands attention. Io Myself wears like a signature scent for those who want to be noticed without shouting. Bold, warm and unapologetically rich.Io Myself
    Timbuktu rewards patience. The mango opening is genuinely unusual for its time, and the incense-karo karounde heart requires an open mind, but the vetiver-benzoin drydown is pure class.Timbuktu
