    Real talk

    The powder is the point. If you've ever wanted a fragrance that smells like the best talc you've ever found, warm, close, impossible to stop smelling, this is it.Habit Rouge
    This cologne concentration means Tabu wears closer to the skin than its later EDT counterparts, but it never apologizes for its intentions. The civet and clove remain defiantly present.Tabu
