    Real talk

    This is not a safe blind buy. Humus smells like the ground, not like perfume. The mushroom and violet root combination sits somewhere most noses have never been, earthy, mineral, almost savory.Humus
    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
