    Real talk

    A lesser-known Russian house made a fragrance that punches well above its weight. The citrus opening hits harder than you'd expect from this price point.Only You
    The name is literal. This smells like ink on paper in a cold room. Cypress up front is greener than expected, and vetiver stays close to the skin for hours. Cashmere wood is subtle in the base.Encre Noire
