    Real talk

    The frankincense and vanilla make this fragrance work overtime. Powdery warmth, yes, but the smoke keeps it from being precious. It's the kind of scent that asks for a second look, not because it's.Grain de Soleil
    This is the fragrance for someone who's exhausted by generic aquatics. The seagrass and loquat give it a specificity that most 'fresh' fragrances never bother with, marine without the monotony.Calypso
