Real talk
This one plays it safe. The almond milk and vanillin give it a comfort-food quality that reads innocent, while the star anise and ambroxan add just enough complexity to keep it interesting.A Drop d'Issey
Alien is not subtle. Jasmine leads without apology, cashmeran provides the comfort, amber the afterthought that keeps people asking what you're wearing. It divides opinion for good reason.Alien
