    Real talk

    Trayee isn't trying to be liked. It's a rich, unapologetic scent that smells like something ancient and considered, resins, spices, and woods layered with intention.Trayee
    Timbuktu rewards patience. The mango opening is genuinely unusual for its time, and the incense-karo karounde heart requires an open mind, but the vetiver-benzoin drydown is pure class.Timbuktu
