    Real talk

    Celebes Wood takes a different approach to woody fragrances. The vanilla here is black vanilla husk, not the sweet kind you'd find in a dessert, but something with weight and resin that adds depth.Celebes Wood
    If you want a polite fragrance, look elsewhere. African Leather announces itself and doesn't apologize. The leather in the drydown is the real deal, not some synthetic imitation.African Leather
