    Real talk

    The ozonic freshness that opens this doesn't hint at where it ends. An hour in, tobacco and fir move in, and the person who projected a breezy citrus gets a quiet conversation instead.By Serpentine
    Lavender and pineapple shouldn't work together. One cools, the other swoops in sweet. The drydown is where patchouli, vanilla, and caramel pull a slow fade on the skin. Eight hours.Music For a While
