    Real talk

    Pumpkin pie in a perfume shouldn't work this well. It does. The lavender keeps it from getting too sweet, the cinnamon keeps it from getting too soft.Temptress
    Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
