    Real talk

    No top notes means no delay. You get vanilla and guaiac wood immediately, and they stay. If you want a fragrance that announces itself with citrus or bergamot first, this skips that entirely.Memoirs Of A Trespasser
    This is the fragrance for someone who's done searching for 'the one.' The frankincense and balsam open like a door left deliberately ajar, herbal, slightly medicinal, unmistakably present.Gurjun Balsam
