    Real talk

    Gong is weird in the best way. The green bell pepper note is not a metaphor, it is actual vegetable freshness, and somehow it works beautifully against the citrus opening and warm woody finish.Gong
    Burvuvu doesn't apologize for being a cedar perfume. No softening aldehydes, no sweet drydown to chase away the forest. What you get is the real thing, three cedars, mushroom, castoreum, honey.Burvuvu
