    Real talk

    If you've ever wanted skin that smells like a warm secret, this is your fragrance. Powdery violet over vanilla that doesn't try too hard. Not a statement piece.Aura
    Philosophy opens with absinthe and wormwood, bringing their green and medicinal quality to the foreground. These notes establish the character of the fragrance immediately.Philosophy
