    Real talk

    The vanilla here isn't frosting, it's warm cream and wood. Paired with the brightness of quince and the intimacy of musk, it creates something that works overtime without drawing attention.Midnight Shimmer
    Gold is unapologetically bold and animalic. The Civet and Ambergris in the base will polarize, and the Jasmine-Myrrh heart commands attention. It truly fills a room.Gold
