Real talk
Not for the faint-hearted. That Chili-Ginger opening is aggressive, and the Myrrh-Cypriol backbone skews dark. If you want safe, look elsewhere. This is your strange, beautiful reward.Heliotrope
This is not the amber of amber-filled cookies or syrups. It is raw, resinous, and aggressively warm, with herbal and savory notes that emerge depending on your skin chemistry.Ambre Sultan
