    Real talk

    Most ambers go straight for warmth. This one earns it. The oregano and bay leaf hit first, herbal, almost savory, before amber and vanilla take over. A real amber, finally.Amber
    The anisic opening will either pull you in or make you question everything. But that vanilla base is patient. It waits. And when it arrives, it arrives with warmth.Essence by Reminiscence
