    Real talk

    This isn't trying to be anything other than itself. Green, woody, quietly confident. The fig note is creamy without being sweet. For someone who wants Provençal sunlight without the tourist trap.Beau de Provence
    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
