    Real talk

    Nefs is not subtle. This is a fragrance that wants to be noticed, projecting aggressively in the opening before settling into a warm, resinous drydown that lasts well into the next day.Nefs
    Cardamom doesn't always play warm. In Act 2, it does, bright and powdery at first, then golden as the transparent woods take over. Some people want fragrance to fill a room.Act 2
