Real talk
Here's the thing about citrus fragrances: most of them disappear in an hour, like they were embarrassed to be alive. Slightly Bitter stays. That Timur and vetiver combination in the base isn't just.Slightly Bitter
This fragrance is less a perfume and more an atmospheric event. The sandalwood is the anchor but the leather and papyrus make it interesting. Not everyone will appreciate the slightly feral quality.Santal 33
