    Real talk

    Pi doesn't play it safe, the anise note hits like a question mark. But that vanilla-and-almond drydown is the answer. Warm, confident, and nothing like the usual masculine playbook.Pi
    Some fragrances suggest. Herod insists. The tobacco-vanilla base isn't subtle, it's the whole argument, and it wins. Sweet enough to pull people in, structured enough to keep them at a distance.Herod
