    Real talk

    If you want a fragrance that smells like a Venetian palazzo in autumn, this is it. Black cherry and clove create a cozy, opulent feel, but the iris in the drydown keeps it from being overly sweet.Duchessa
    Bold and excessive isn't for everyone, but it is for someone. That someone wants to be noticed. Salted pistachio opening, black carnation heart, vanilla suede drydown.The Black Carnation
