    Real talk

    The star anise and mint opening is confrontational in the best way. No safe bergamot-and-wood approach here, this is a fragrance that asks something of you. Wear it anyway.Mandragore Pourpre
    Fille en Aiguilles is not a safe blind buy. The pine needles hit with an almost aggressive sharpness before the incense and dried fruits soften the edges.Fille en Aiguilles
