    Real talk

    This one does exactly what the name promises. Bright citrus up top, fruity warmth in the middle, and a leather-patchouli base that actually lasts. Not subtle, not trying to be.Acid Bomb
    This is not the Kerosene you might expect. It trades stamped steel for honeyed sweetness without losing its edge. Black tea keeps it honest.Unknown Pleasures
