    Real talk

    This fragrance doesn't pretend. Costus and castoreum make it a deliberate choice, warm, animalic, unapologetically physical. Not a scent to impress strangers. A scent to inhabit fully.Ambilux
    Some will read 'civet' and hesitate. Don't. The animalic here isn't loud, it's the warmth underneath your collar by evening, the kind of thing that makes someone lean closer without knowing why.Poudrextase
