    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
    Fresh and herbal, yes. But the tonka bean is the tell, it sweetens the whole thing just enough to keep it from reading as austere. Moderate sillage means this one stays close, intimate.Friends World For Him
