    Real talk

    The patchouli doesn't overpower, it's grounded, earthy, a deliberate choice. Plum and Bulgarian rose keep it elegant without veering into something safe. It's clean but with a pulse underneath.No.14 Icila
    On paper it reads sweet. On skin it reads sunny, clean, and grounded. The fig-tonka interplay is the real star here, with vetiver cutting just enough sweetness to keep things interesting.No.13 Nouvelle Vague
