    Real talk

    The Moon has a genuinely dramatic arc. That initial fruity brightness is arresting, but it melts into something far more austere. The oud and leather in the drydown are not subtle.The Moon
    It's the arc that makes it worth wearing. The lychee-raspberry opening hits like something borrowed from a summer you can't quite place, then oud and leather take over and don't apologize for it.Sequence
