    Real talk

    The rhubarb here isn't the sweet kind. It's tart, green, almost medicinal, vetiver and cedar keep it grounded. Some find that sharpness divisive. Those who do love it for exactly that reason.Flash Back
    This is the scent of sun-warmed skin right out of salt water. It's bold without being aggressive, fresh but with enough oud and incense to keep it interesting beyond the first spray.Costa Azzurra
