    Real talk

    This is for someone who wants a fragrance that feels found, not bought, warm and smoky, sweet but dry, with a beetroot note that shouldn't work but does.Red Flag
    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
