    Real talk

    There is no top note here. You are dropped straight into the heart, where melon, incense, and cedarwood collide. This is either brilliant or disorienting, depending on what you want from a fragrance.Breath Of God
    This one will divide the room. The cypress and cumin together feel monastic, almost medicinal at first. But give it time and the frankincense and guaiac wood drydown is genuinely compelling.Sombre Negra
