    Real talk

    This one smells like you spent three days walking, not that you just showered. The green is earthy, not fresh-cut lawn green. It's the forest choosing you, not the other way around.Bête Humaine
    The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
