Real talk
Olivier Durbano didn't make a fragrance that eases you in gently. The smoke hits first, then the spice, then the resin. It's the kind of composition that demands you commit.Black Tourmaline
This is the fragrance for someone who wants vetiver and nothing else. No florals to soften it, no sweetness to apologize for. Just the dry, earthy depth of roots and bark.Encre Noire
