    Real talk

    Some fragrances demand attention. Anticipation earns it differently, powdery violet and white florals held close, intimate enough to invite the kind of close attention usually reserved for something.Ghost Anticipation
    Sweet enough to eat, dry enough to wear. The patchouli keeps the praline from becoming dessert candles. Oriens walks the line between fruity and edible.Oriens
