    Real talk

    This is not a sunshine-and-sand fragrance. It leans hard into the tense, pressurized side of marine, with myrtle liqueur and ambergris giving it an almost astringent edge that will divide opinion.Black Sea
    A fragrance that opens with smoke and ends with something almost tender. That's the trick, the incense and oud don't dominate, they frame. The orange and rose at the center give it a warmth most.Memento Mori
