    Real talk

    The aldehydes hit first. Metallic, assertive, demanding. Then the florals bloom and the civet surfaces and you're no longer wearing something polite. It's not a fragrance that asks permission.Jil Sander Woman II
    Maai doesn't court an audience, it simply projects hard enough that the audience comes to it. The aldehydic brightness pulls you in, but the civet, resins, and musk are what make you stay.Maai
