    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
    Pierre Guillaume took cedar, usually the polite, supporting-actor note, and gave it praline and smoke as backup. Now it owns the room. Cedre Sandaraque is the argument that woods and sweetness belong.Cedre Sandaraque
