    Real talk

    Most aromatic fragrances play it safe. Wood and Absinth doesn't. The absinthe opens sharp and green, that bitter edge most perfumers smooth away. If you want green that bites, this is your scent.Wood & Absinth
    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
