Real talk
Some fragrances demand a room. This one asks for skin contact. The black tea and powdery iris combo either intrigues you or leaves you reaching for something louder.Platinum 22
This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
