    Real talk

    This is not a polite fragrance. Spray paint and ambroxan announce themselves immediately. This is for someone who wants London as a sensory experience, not just a pretty smell.Southbank London
    The fig here isn't a fruity cocktail, it's the whole fruit, green stem and milky sap included. Black pepper doesn't play nice from the start; it crashes the opening and stays.London 1983
