    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who's done with safe. The castoreum and ambergris won't let you pretend it's decorative. It's resinous, it's animalic, and it stays, not because it shouts.Couleur Fauve
    This isn't the amber that fades after two hours. It builds. The opening is rich and chewy, almost overwhelming for the first twenty minutes, before settling into something that's part perfume, part.Ambra Aurea
