    Real talk

    A 2023 piece that turns its back on Katana's oud identity and walks straight into white florals and vanilla. Some say the opening is too sweet. That's not a flaw. That's the whole point.Hayal
    This is a sophisticated, feminine scent that leans into contrast. The blackcurrant opening is assertive, but the silk and rose heart keeps it graceful.Soie Malaquais
