    Real talk

    Rosso Radice splits the room. Some find it too much, too earthy, too real. Others can't stop spraying it. That divide is the point. It smells like the world does when you actually step into it.Rosso Radice
    This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
