    Real talk

    The citrusy opening plays it safe. But Tempest's real story begins when the oud and vetiver arrive, earthy, resinous, and nowhere near as polite as that first impression.Tempest
    The animal-oriental label sounds intimidating, but Ether plays it safe in the best way. Sweet caramel and vanilla make the oud approachable, the cumin gives it that one thing people talk about.Ether
