    Real talk

    Cherry isn't a delicate note. It stains, it lingers, it asks something of you. Élan Noir doesn't flinch from that. It's sweet enough to be seductive, tart enough to have teeth.Élan Noir
    Oud without the intimidating punch. This takes that precious, sometimes brutal note and polishes it into something you'll actually want to smell on yourself. That's the move here, and it pays off.Oud Wood
