    Real talk

    Four notes. Rose absolute with geranium, immortelle, and musk. Ellena stripped it back this far because there's nowhere left to hide, and somehow, that's everything. Simplicity as a dare.Rose de Mai
    There's something about Paris that divides people in the best way. Some find it too much. Others find it exactly enough. The rose-violet combination is old-school in the most complimentary sense.Paris
