    Real talk

    The galbanum opening is sharp, bright, almost bitter before the florals arrive to soften it. This is a green chypre for someone who doesn't need everyone to like it.Silences
    Not a crowd-pleaser on first spray. The galbanum demands patience, the iris rewards it, and the leather-oakmoss drydown speaks fluent sophistication. Know what you're getting into.Chanel N°19
