    Real talk

    The castoreum gives this something polarizing, something that pushes back. You'll either want to bathe in the drydown or reconsider your life choices in the first five minutes.Santal Auster
    This isn't the Montale that fills rooms. It's the Montale for someone who wants the house's quality without announcing it from the staircase. Marine freshness over warm wood.Santal Wood
