    The iris here doesn't behave. It arrives powdery, goes chocolatey, and finishes somewhere you weren't standing. That turmeric isn't decorative, it roots the whole thing in warm earth.Feu Secret
    The ambergris is doing the heavy lifting here. Not skatole-animalic, but that same warm, slightly feral sweetness that makes skin smell like skin. This is ambergris at its most expressive.Young Pretender
