    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who's tired of performance. Just you. It's for those who want scent to be personal, intimate, something that stays close rather than announcing itself.Ivyme
    This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
