    Real talk

    Manoa is an amber that doesn't tiptoe. The ginger gives it a clean heat from the start, keeping the vanilla and opoponax from ever getting heavy. It's resinous, sweet, and warm.Manoa
    Shalimar is aldehydic history bottled, but it remains surprisingly Intimate on skin. The opening feels bright, the heart powdery and romantic, and the drydown is just plain cuddly.Shalimar
