Real talk
Clean enough to wear everywhere. Warm enough to linger. The kind of musk that gets called simple by people who haven't met the tonka. It stays close to the skin but announces itself in the best.Special Musk
This fragrance generates polarized reactions. The saffron note is polarizing on its own, but the ambergris and ambroxan combination creates a warm, almost hyperreal quality that some find synthetic.Baccarat Rouge 540
