    Real talk

    The smoke and blackcurrant together can feel like a jolt at first, unfamiliar, almost astringent. But that's exactly the point. This isn't a fragrance that reassures. It asks something of you.Melancholia
    This is a sophisticated, feminine scent that leans into contrast. The blackcurrant opening is assertive, but the silk and rose heart keeps it graceful.Soie Malaquais
