    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vintage glamour without the drama. The aldehydic lift gives it that 50s sophistication, but the citrus and green notes keep it from feeling dusty.Gin Fizz
    This fragrance does not announce itself. Bergamot and vetiver give it structure, but the florals keep it from feeling austere. It works best when you want to smell present without screaming.Bal d'Afrique
