    Real talk

    The absinthe and mushroom opening will divide a room before anyone gets close enough to smell the cacao. That's the point. The initial impression is deliberately challenging.42
    This is the fragrance for people who want projection without apology. The opening is a full-frontal citrus assault, juicy, sharp, unapologetic. But give it an hour.Supernova
