    Real talk

    This fragrance asks something of you. The opening is peculiar, the leather drydown is unapologetically bold, and nothing about it apologizes for existing. If you want something safe, look elsewhere.1740 Marquis de Sade
    This is a fragrance that plays it cool until it doesn't. The pepper-laced opening reads sharp, almost prickly, then the vanilla arrives and suddenly it wants to be held.Closed Gate
