    Real talk

    Grape and cedar is a rarer pairing than it should be. The grape note lingers through the opening, its fruity brightness threading alongside the cedar's woody depth.Magus
    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
