    Real talk

    Citrine earns its place in the stone series through restraint, not spectacle. The citrus-ginger opening announces itself clearly, but the beeswax and myrrh drydown asks something of you, patience.Citrine
    Some rose fragrances are a gift. Paestum Rose is a discovery. The resins, the smoke, the papyrus at the base, this is rose for people who want the flower to earn its place. Not a Valentine's bouquet.Paestum Rose
