    Real talk

    Fig fragrances usually go two ways: green and bitter, or sweet and gourmand. Philosophigue does both at once, and some find that indecisive. But for those who want a fragrance that shifts as you move.Philosophigue
    This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
