    Real talk

    Incense fragrances either smell like church candles or something you can't stop thinking about. Oliban is the second kind. The frankincense is unapologetic, but chamomile keeps it grounded.Oliban
    The rose here doesn't apologize. Dark rose absolute meets oud and civet, that's the whole proposition. Some wearers find it gripping, others find it too much.Dangerous Rose
