    Real talk

    Some fragrances want you to like them. Lampblack doesn't need your vote. Its smoky, inky darkness paired with bitter citrus is the kind of combination that sparks opinions, and earns them.Lampblack
    Type Writer doesn't follow the oriental playbook. Instead of sweet warmth, there's dry smoke, paper, and a castoreum edge that splits the room. The people who love it tend to love it hard.Type Writer
