    Real talk

    Violet and leather is a strange combination, it sounds powdery, almost cold, then suddenly animalic and warm. The oud gives it weight. The cedar gives it patience.Jil Sander Man Absolute
    Bois d'Argent is restrained by design. The frankincense opening reads cool, almost clinical, before the myrrh and iris heart softens the picture. If you want a quiet statement, this delivers.Bois d'Argent
