    Real talk

    Fig and pineapple in the opening surprised me, but it works. The tropical start transitions into something unexpectedly sophisticated once iris and coconut milk take over.Star
    Bois d'Amande is not trying to impress you. It presents almond with unusual clarity, no syrupy shortcuts, and lets cedarwood do the heavy lifting. The tonka and musk in the drydown keep it wearable.Bois d'Amande
