    Real talk

    This is the fragrance for people who want smoke and sweetness in the same breath. Not separate notes, layered, entwined, inseparable. MALVS doesn't ask permission to be resinous. It just is.MALVS
    The clove in the opening hits like a dare. Either that sharpness hooks you immediately, or it doesn't. But give it an hour, the floral heart softens everything, the vanilla and benzoin warm up.Shanghai Lily
