    Real talk

    A fragrance that smells like a mahogany office at 2am, warm brandy, candied apple, quiet confidence. Sweet enough to pull you in. Refined enough to stay. The drydown is what people come back for.Langston
    Cordial keeps things refined, calvados and cognac warmth present but threaded with cashmere musk and sandalwood beneath. The spirit-forward composition offers rich.Cordial
