    Real talk

    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
    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
