    Real talk

    If you're after something safe, look elsewhere. Black Metal earns its name, the smoky leather and black rose heart aren't decoration. They hit. But that's the point.Black Metal
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
