    Real talk

    You expect smoke and aggression. Instead you get violet and soft leather. That's the whole point, this fragrance doesn't care what you expected. It's floral-first, warm.Black Metal Man
    Cavallier-Belletrud built this as a wearable sunset. It's simple, confident, and knows exactly what it wants to be, a bright citrus-fruity core softened by Musk and resin.California Dream
