    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
    Saharienne isn't trying to knock you sideways. That's the whole point. Clean citrus, a whisper of floral, ginger that barely grazes the skin. It's the fragrance for people who've stopped performing.Saharienne
