    Real talk

    Discontinued. Rare. A masculine floral that doesn't apologize for being one. The aldehydes are the point of entry, you either lean in or you don't. For those who do.Insense
    This is a fragrance that rewards proximity over presence. It won't announce itself across a room, but lean in close and you'll find something that's hard to let go.Bel Respiro Eau de Parfum
