    Real talk

    Smoke isn't a crowd-pleaser. That's the point. La Fumée doesn't announce itself, it settles close, like woodsmoke on cold air. Incense and birch give it edge; geranium keeps it from going heavy.La Fumee
    This is not a casual office scent. Avignon demands intention. The chamomile aldehydes offer an unusual herbal lift, but the real story is the frankincense-myrrh core, which is powerful, spiritual,.Series 3 Incense: Avignon
