    Real talk

    Camelia is for those who want a floral that refuses to be precious. The elemi and bitter orange keep the rose honest, while the tonka ensures the drydown stays cozy without sliding into Gourmand.Camelia
    Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
