    Real talk

    Most citrus fragrances play it safe. Gorse leans into something stranger, the actual botanical, furze, not just 'green notes.' Coconut, but not in a tropical-drink way. More the memory of it.Gorse
    This isn't an osmanthus perfume with a whisper of oud. It's an oud perfume that happens to smell like flowers. The oud is the spine here, dark, resinous, the thing that holds everything else in place.Oudh Osmanthus
