    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
    This is Fracus for people who aren't ready for Fracus, and that's not a knock. The tuberose steps back, the citrus steps up, and what you get is a white floral that flirts instead of performs.Petit Fracas
