    Real talk

    Si hits differently than most modern florals. That blackcurrant and saffron opening is sharp, confident, almost electric. Then the vanilla steps in and everything gets softer, warmer.Si
    The name says everything and nothing. Always Red opens with a tartness that surprises, plum skin, not plum jam. It's the kind of sweet that knows it doesn't need permission.Always Red
